Anyone been done recently as in scammed?
I was done yesterday. Replied to a Locanto ad, girl seemed legit, photos etc looked ok.
She said it was her and a couple of others working out of a 3 bedroom apartment in Mascot with a “boss man”. The “boss man” should have set off alarm bells but I didn’t think too much about it at the time.
Arrived at the apartment block in Mascot (big modern apartment block with lots of different blocks) and messaged whoever was on the other end. Message came back that the “boss man” will come and get you. A tattooed Lebanese guy rocks up and we walk towards one of the blocks. Stupidly, I gave him the $200 and then he directs me to Block C Number 618. He does a u-turn and heads in the opposite direction. I enter code 618 and of course it comes up with “error”. Try again and “error” at which point I realise I have been scammed!
The Lebanese guy of course was nowhere to be seen and even if he had been I wouldn’t have approached him because he looked like the type that would be trouble.
The Locanto person was Omz348186
Beware!

Sorry to hear that mate. This shit is real. Lesson learnt. Don’t waste your time. Follow this forum’s recommendations and enjoy.
Sorry to hear bro. That sounds fucked up.
Fuck mate sorry to hear about your situation.
I experienced once from random WeChat users.
These people will get their lesson hopefully
Sorry to hear that too.
If that is of any consolation, I reckon i would have been scammed too, thinking I'm paying the papasan the monies, instead of the WL.
A good lesson is that , unless you are familiar with the process, when dealing with privates , you have to pay directly to the WL.
Lesson #1: Don't pay until you've seen the product
Lesson #2: if it's not an established shop, never pay a 3rd person
But thanks for the AR. Serves as a refresher to ALL to NOT be complacent.
Wechat/Lime/Locanto = very high risk of getting scam. there are few legit, but most would be scam. Probably 8 out of 10 would be a scam.
thanks for sharing mate
How did you know that he is Lebanese?Originally Posted by Nthnrr
Never trust Locanto ads
How do you decide whether to italicise, underline, use bold, USE A BIGGER FONT or a combination? Are there intricacies that I will never understand?
you can probably report this to the police. It wouldn't matter so much if you are single, probably harder to do if you have a partner/family
Thanks for the tip. Lesson learnt and one reason why shops are just less risk overall. Private always sound top shelf until you arrive and suddenly it is Temu time.
Link to the ad ?
I thought I was gonna read never trust a Leb
Come on Habibi... If you can't trust Guido El Masri then who can you trust
Maybe his pocket exploded as he was walking away...
Consider it the use of non-verbal tones to emphasize a point. The command voice in typography.
- *italics: metaphor
- *underline: little oomph to the word/phrase
- *bold: raised voice
- *size: command voice
Clear? CLEAR!
I asked how I would recognise the “boss man” and got “he’s Lebanese, black beard and black hoody”
No, had to get back to work
