SCAMMER ON FW
All, beware there is a scammer lurking about on FW. yesterday, I received a text message form a mobile number, saying he'd seen my post on FW asking for a sounder. he asked if I wanted to buy a HDS9 gen 3, with nav card, for $450. firkin good deal I thought. I agreed to the sale, and only after that did he mentioned he is located in Bunbury. I asked if he comes to Perth, to which he said he doesn't, and we then agreed to transfer money and he would post it. I then asked him to send some photos of the unit, of which he did. a few minutes later, I did a quick google, to see what a HDS9 gen 3 looked like, and BANG, up pops the same pictures off a eBay ad! the cunt was trying to scam me... I hit him up straight away, saying his photos are off ebay, and to send more photos, etc, and then..... SILENCE. no response. GONE COLD. I now see he is trying to flog off a HOOK9 on Fishwrecked this morning. his user name is Davidgham, he has only been a member for 1 day, and his phone number is 0411 260 445. he is now saying he lives in Albany (not Bunbury). I also have his bank account number, and he is getting reported to the cops. beware peeps. save the number in your phone. these cunts do exist.

Scotto, could he be selling
Scotto, could he be selling stolen stuff rather than being a scammer? Maybe everyone needs to watch their stuff.

Good pick up! I did think it
Good pick up! I did think it was a bit strange that someone had so much gear that people were looking for. I wonder if it is the same guy that scammed sea-kem with those rigs??? Lucky you were switched on scotto. The cops will probably do f@$k all anyway.

Surely saved others on scamgham"
Good to see you caught him out Scott and others now warned.
After you showed trust in myself as a Fishwrecked member ( offered to let me drive off on my own in his car for a test drive that he was selling when at work ) and showed similar trust throughout the sale it's a shame that another fellow that signed on to the site behaves like this.
I'm always uncomfortable doing deals where you can't meet the person face to face. I did buy a transducer in the not too distant past from a guy in Darwin and that turned out fine but knew I was taking a risk.
Hope this "Davidgham" is tracked down soon by someone he has scammed and gets what is coming to him!

Great post
What a low life, thanks for posting up this guys con artist ways. This gives a heads up to all members and is much appreciated I'm sure as people could be scammed or buying doggy gear without knowing it.
I very much appreciate what you have done.

Yeah good pickup. Don’t think I’d ever transfer money to someone’s bank and trust them to post unless I knew them. Fucking dog

Cheers for shedding light on
Cheers for shedding light on this oxygen theifs ways. People work hard to earn money to pay bills and buy toys, scumbags like this want all the fruits without lifting their arse off the couch. Davidgham your probs reading this so hopefully you choke on your next bong that was most probably paid for by another hard working person.

Adam should be able to pass
Adam should be able to pass on his IP address which the police may be able to use to get a physical address (if he doesn't live where his phone is registered to).
