That means he blocked me few seconds after ive told him i know that pictures .

He tried 🤷🏻
 
Got this private message from a user named "Alive" (zero posts, registered end of April 2025) regarding my recent search for a Namco Consolette monitor bezel and control panel:

Today at 2:44 AM
Just a heads-up—LONCOV has the item up for sale. I bought a few things from him last week, and during our chat, he mentioned this piece you’re looking for but I didn’t need it myself. If you’re interested, feel free to reach out to him directly at loncov54@hotmail.com to see if it’s still available!

- of course it's a new profile with absolutely zero other posts
- of course there's no user named LONCOV on the board
- of course he doesn't name the item I'm looking for (too much hassle, I suppose) – in fact he does not even bother to write "items" instead of "item"
- why would someone mention that he has some very obscure Namco parts available "during our chat"?
- of course he tries to direct the exchange off-site to an alleged third party

If you ask me, this has written scam all over it.

Thanks for sharing.
 
it's time people awake. when i mentioned some everyone felt on me.. wake up, there are some old ones who know the thing & double identities..
 
Ha I actually opened a support ticket yesterday, ebay called me back and I told them it was a scammer and they "assured me I could bid with confidence and could claim a full refund if item not received". Clowns.

Think I'll bid $1 milion on all the listing's.

He's got MVS stuff in groups, and the same games listed as singles. Clearly a scam. Damn, he had some cool stuff too!
 
Not sure if it's a scammer, but I have a doubt about a certain HEGO, Joined Jul 13, 2025, who replied to my research topic and sent me a photo of this Air buster pcb (maskroms without sticker arround square chip) :


and send me a video of this one (Eproms with sticker around square chip) :


and when I do a search with his email, I get 1 result :

Maybe I'm a little too suspicious, but if you're going to do business with him, a word of advice... watch your back ;)
 
Just to point out that this guy has nothing to do with me.He simply used my video to perform his scam.
Yes of course Caius, no one would think so, in fact i even understand it's a scammer once i search and find the video was from you.
