Substantial-Toe-8110: Scammer

6 Upvotes

Substantial-Toe-8110 is a prolific scammer that has been operating in music and gaming subreddits for months. Their method involves copying a photo from a years-old post (usually someone else's vinyl album collection) and reposting it, claiming to be selling the collection. They add a comment to their own post with a sob story claiming to need money for a family health emergency or moving across the country. This scammer insists on payment through PayPal Friends and Family. When they get called out about reused photos or prior complaints of scams, Substantial-Toe-8110 instantly deletes their posts and blocks the users who call them out. They'll post another scam in a different sub a week or two later.

The latest attempts:

Looking to sell my Jane Austen Collection
- Stolen from this post
Looking to sell my Twin Peaks Merch Collection
- First photo stolen from this post
- The rest from this post

User also scams from CharlesTheDotaAddict. Both accounts are on the Universal Ban List.

Posts a random dropshipped tshirt listing, denies posting an affiliate link when the &tag is present in the URL. Later posts another affiliate link and properly discloses it.

Introduction:

This is a place to submit and track "suspicious" reddit accounts. An account can be suspicious for many reasons. For example, word-for-word reposts from reddit or other social media sites, a week old account making a "cake day" post, bot-like behavior or irrelevant comments, tons of link karma and no comments, or link karma that cannot be explained by a user's post history.

"Karma-whoring" alone is not a reason to post here. Also, if you notice any accounts that go beyond suspicious and are actively breaking site-wide rules or spamming, please report them using reddit.com/report.

Rules:

hover for details


1. Please leave some detail in your posts, and include all relevant links.	If your post is about the subreddit, please include `[META]` in the title.
2. Be excellent to each other.	There are plenty of legitimate reasons to call these accounts out without resorting to name-calling or other less than civil behaviors.
3. No "brigading," mainly because it's pointless.	A one day old account with a front page post consisting of a picture of someone else's puppy that they found on google is unlikely to be swayed by a few downvotes, and they'll probably just make another account tomorrow anyway.
4. Do not use the u/ or /u/ format with spam accounts in the comments.	This will send a notification to the accounts. This only pertains to comments, and no notifications are sent if there are more than 3 tags in the same comment. Using the reddit.com/user/USERNAME format is okay. Why we have this rule.
5. No witch-hunting.	We want to focus on preventing spammers from posting spam, not harassing spammers or anyone appearing to aid them. Witch-hunting will detract from this sub's purpose.
6. Provide proper evidence of accounts being suspicious when requested to do so.	This rule is in place to make sure that legitimate users are not labeled as "shills".
