Cons206 Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 So I'm posting this as just warning. Because I'm not sure if this was legit. But I got a random text about if I wanted to buy a Hinkle trout. And the asked what would I be willing to pay for it . But when I ask to see pics they told me they didn't have it yet. And would get back to me that was awile ago. So just warning you guys in case someone wants you to send money for a Hinkle trout. That they never posted Nateraz and garyganu84 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadenw16 Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 I got a similar message from a guy on IG He said he had Deps 250's for $70 and Hinkle Shad for $110!!! I was gonna try him until my adult instinct kicked in and said "If it's too good to be true, it probably is!" LOL!! Here is this scammer i contacted the guy and started asking questions, the pictures he sent are easy to find on google images. He insists you pay gift and don't pay as goods. He made up about 6 different excuses as to why his paypal wasn't working and he couldn't accept if i pay as goods. Christiantaj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrcdthsqd Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 when it comes to things like that, make them take a picture of the bait with a paper that has their name/sn and date on it. Rod Wynn and TmBtc12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cons206 Posted March 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 So I guess this was legit. And I sincerely apologize to the guy. My bad moral of the story maybe we should communicate better. And I hope the mod will take this down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TmBtc12 Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 The cheapest swimbaits one definitely sounds like a scam. Be very careful any time somebody demands that you pay with gift only. Not enough info on the OP. You said you got a random text seeing if you want a hinkle trout. I could be wrong but it looks like you may have posted a wanted add in the black market that he was responding to. He said he was shopping it to other people so he may have found a buyer. Good looking out either way though Cadenw16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
