asavamedhi Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 I bought baits from the same guy like 3 days ago. he told me he needed the money bad for his truck payment and to send it to him as gift so he can get it faster (red flag right there) so I told him pay pal doesn't allow me to send money through friends and family I can only send money through goods and services and he will get his money asap (I lied). well he agreed. I sent the money and he didn't like the result he refunded me asking me to send the money as gift and that hes not a scammer and blah blah blah typical scammer ish. i guess i should've warned people about this guy ahead of time but i don't really like bashing people my bad guys. Same exact situation. Sad. Fish45 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmthompson44 Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Ya i was going to buy a couple of the 8 in hudds from him he wanted me to pay friends and family. I said hell no. Then a day later said he would accept regular payment with fees and i told him he sounded way too shady. What a scumbag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthenSwimbait Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 He posted a big bait lot on the badlands a couple weeks ago. I bought a punker from him and actually got it. I paid friends and family also. My experience is different than the one you guys speak of. But either way that's a bad situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sickboytfc13 Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 If it's the turtle dude, he's a Massachusetts cat. I've personally never ran into him but have been seeing a lot of posts about how he's screwed people. Dudes like that suck and should be on a swing on sight type of thing..

swimbaitunderground Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 This is not the same person as previous scams. Garrett Lorenzen is a fairly well known fisherman in Southern Ca. The email address and name in his profile match up with what's out there. We hope he makes things right and will do all we can to get this headed in the right direction.
