Chiropractic Equipment Classified Scams

I’ve joked that I’ve posted on this subject 1000 times, but I’ll post 1000 more, if it helps educate people using classified advertisement websites. It’s the Internet, and scammers are everywhere (but the community is kicking butt). Users of classified advertising websites, like the chiropractic classifieds by Planet Chiropractic, would love to believe that everyone they receive e-mails from can be trusted, but that’s not the case (that goes for any classified ad website).

Here’s two of the latest e-mail accounts (along with IP addresses) that have proven to be fraudulent accounts run by scammers intent on separating people from their money. The e-mail I received from a guy, several years ago, that almost shipped a motorcycle overseas, motivates me to continue posting information like this.

I’d recommend to everyone not to do business with anyone contacting you from either of these two e-mail addresses. If you are selling an item on a classified ad website, and you found this post because you were doing a search to see if these contacts were fraudulent, rest assured that they are. Contact the site you have your ad posted with, and let them know you’ve been contacted by a scammer.
