This person is by far a professional scammer. He uses pictures of the actual item, which I believe are authentic, but will not send the item once you send payment. I found this guy through Facebook in a sneaker buy/sell/trade group which was intended for local transactions. However, due to these shoes being exclusive, people will go out their way to try and get them. Basically, he told me that he needed to pay for medical bills to get his wife out of the hosptal and that he is willing to take a huge cut in selling his shoes to get his wife the proper medicinal care for his wife. Being gullable, I took his word and sent the money to his account through western union. Unfortunately, as soon as I sent him the money, he just deleted his account and even blocked me. Apparently he has scammed other people with the same story. I tried contacting my local authorities, but not much can be done since he is over seas. All I can do now is to prevent any other person from getting scammed from this man. Please, be aware, and I hope he will be stopped because he has scammed people for thousands of people. Justice must be served.
