Remember:

• DO NOT do business with anyone who offers to send you payment for a higher amount than your selling price with the understanding that you'll send back the balance.


• Be suspicious of anyone claiming to be acting on behalf of a "client" or another "customer".


• Be suspicious of anyone claiming to be from Nigeria or West Africa


• If you agree to accept a check payment, then do not send anything, gear or "change" before the check cleared. And be careful, if you manage to clear a fraudulent check then you may be liable for the damages if the bank finds out later. Make sure your bank authenticates the check.


• If it sounds to good to be true, then it probably is.

I have never brought anything from dropzone persons but I have been looking on here for a while shopping. I found a user (WinkRigging) that has several items for sale. These items number 1 seem wayy too low and number 2 not enough details for the products. Has anyone heard of this person or know anything about them. I checked their profile and they are a NEW user to dropzone and has many items for sale. Their profile looks very blank.

Is anyone from Utah that might know this guy?

I have five of the same type of emails from this person, Cynthia Penwell, she was trying to sell me a canopy, all seemed very suspicious, written in broken english? When I called the DZ she said she jumped at that they had no record of that person. She even sent me photos of her drivers license, birth certificate, and Social Security card?? When I emailed her back and told her that the DZ had no record of her and that the age that she stated to me was not the same age on the ID I never heard from her again.

Wow, glad I didn't send any money to this clown.
