Title: BEWARE: Scam Alert: Breakingbad
Post by Connelly on 01/26/25 at 22:11:03

I posted an ad, looking for a Modwright Modified CXN2. I've since learned that this invites scammers...
Anyhow, A person on the Decware site by the name of Breakingbad emailed me this last night:

Sender: Breakingbad
To: Connelly
Subject: WTB Cambridge CXN with Modwright Mod
Date: 01/18/25 at 21:45:03
I know a guy that might have one in this forum,he goes by @Matchstikmanbut I haven't seen him on here for couple of days.I actually called him, no response. You can reach him via email- Sullivanborn2@gmail.com

This entire thing turned out to be a scam. Sullivan tried to get me to send money to paypal addresses Sullivanborn2@gmail.com, hmillerjr52@gmail.com (John Miller).
He then sent a paypal address renaechow92@gmail.com (Renae Wright).

Luckily paypal stopped the initial Sullivanborn2@gmail.com transaction as it was flagged as a possible scam.To make a long story short, I lost $10 and learned a valuable lesson. If it was not for paypal security it would have been MUCH worse!

Breakingbad started this entire thing and IMO Steve should ban him immediately. His email is eboardingc6@gmail.com Of course, he won't respond to his email. Sullivanborn2@gmail.com did talk to me on the phone when he was trying to steal my money and it was an odd conversation at best. His number is 503 317-6243. That number comes up on my phone as belonging to Nazim Bakirov. That number now goes straight to VM. My guess is this number is not at all related to Matchstikman here on the Decware site where is shows Matchstikman lives in AZ.

Again, Breakingbad started the initial email reachout to me. Beware!!

Yeah Breakingbad has all of the hallmarks of a scammer.

He needs the ban hammer!

It is interesting how he uses a legit members name as bait, I haven't noticed that scheme before.

Connelly,

I could probably be talked into selling mine for a fair price. Thoughts of newer the Cambridge models + Dan's Audio Bridge have been bouncing around the back of my head. The back of my head is a harsh place on my wallet :)

DM if that interests you.
