Warning: Don't trust Christopher Dunham

[Cmlam71]

I am a victim. He asked me to send $150 via Zelle for two blue and yellow tangs. I was doubtful cuz I did not know who he is. He accepted $50 as a deposit which I asked for. Until this morning, he said to me, "You don't send me $100." WTF. I know he manipulated it. He won't refund it to me. HEAD UP: Please don't send money to Christopher Dunham (Billy <billy89175@gmail.com). I lost $50.

Guys DO NOT send money though Zelle or any other NON PROTECTED ways to a stranger PERIOD unless you like to gamble and your cash means nothing to you. I'm not trying to pour salt in your wounds and it is totally F***ed you got scammed but until members stop sending your dough to unknown people that promises you goods in return these threads will keep popping up. These a**h0les prey on the convenient ways of sending cash. Some things you need to keep old-school like cash for goods trading hands I don't care what special livestock they are selling that requires a cash app deposit to hold..

Don't send money via anything. Do pickup only. If it's too good to be true, definitely it's not true.

Should I report to police about the scammer?

Report all online scams.

I checked out his ip and looks like a known scammer

I would be careful posting public IP addresses.. That's how SWATTING can happen.... funny thing is that IP traces to City Of Los Angeles Police Department - Headquarters

I us Zelle regularly but yes I don’t use it if it’s not a trusted member here.
I always say if it’s to good to be true it probably is.
Simple TDA these days lol
