I am looking at buying a tower rack from Presten Steven. He will only take Zelle payment, which doesn't provide buyer protection. Has anyone ever used him for boat accessories?

@bnreed3m this very much looks like a scam.

Same here, I received a PM referring me to Mr. Preston. I have a feeling this guy or guys are scammers. I've been emailing Preston and the conversation feels shady. I'm not feeling comfortable at this stage of the conversation, be careful and pay only via PayPal for your protection.

The user wilsonn sent messages marketing items from michaelmckemie51@gmail.com and prestensteven@gmail.com.

Those emails are not associated with any forum account.

I removed the wilsonn user and deleted associated conversations.

Admins and Moderators do not see conversation messages. If you suspect a message is a scam please use the report option for that message.

I received a message from stevebull with very similar wording about emailing someone else. I click on the profile and the person just joined and has zero postings..

This is what he messaged me.
"Cut a deal with Stuart Harvey. He has a Mooring cover for 2022 ar190 for sale in mint condition... You can reach him on his email stuartharvey29@aol.com"

@Bruce can you remove this stevebull also?

@Danadavenport, @bnreed3, I removed stevebull. Unfortunately I suspect this scammer or group of scammers will continue targeting members. Please let me know if you receive similar messages again.

Thanks
