Belgian scammer Salamone

[Doowopshopper 3]

Hi,

bit of an old topic, but just a current warning again:

I guess Mr. Salamone (Joe / Giuseppe / Joseph) is around again.
He scammed a lot of people in the past recarding soul / popcorn records (including me).

I guess I found his current facebook profile:
https://www.facebook.com/joseph.salamone.1690

He just wrote me a message via facebook if I would be interested to buy a lot of records from him - unasked - beware!

If any one of you here has taken legal action against him which is still running, please contact me!
I filed a suit against him in 2013 but nothing came out of it back then - now its time barred...

Cheers from Munich, Germany

Chris

Wow, that's a name I sure remember. Salamone that is, not Chris! (even though I know Chris personally)

Got stung in the early 2k's. Sometime between 2002 and 2005. 250 Euros by bank transfer. Tried to cancel the transfer about 30 minutes later when I received an email from a belgian collector telling me all the details about Mr Salamone. No luck. Money gone. Spoke to my bank, they told me it's a transfer, money gone. Went to the police, they said small amount we don't bother.

Lesson learned: Unless seller is trustworthy, Paypal only.

He's never gone away.  He has tried to join groups on Facebook regularly.  But as said be aware of him.

Not Bragging but i was lucky

He done me for roughly £800

he sent 4 pop records to me and took advantage of Paypals dodgy rules at the time

Goods received

and Paypals 30 day limit and must wait 30 days for a credit card claim

I contacted my credit card and got them to start a claim early. Lucky

Paypal got a clawback for my money in full

Paypal then contacted me and i pointed out the fraud and there automated lock out due to goods received

Paypal then changed their automated system to Goods significantly not as described

eg i bought a rolls royce received a skate board

Salamone then messaged me saying i should just drop the claim and i should check i had adequate Fire Insurance

My reply

His address

and that he should check his Health Insurance as i was working in District 7 in a few months

He went away

I guess the womans Paypal account he used for Payments got clawed back on

He is around now and i guess playing the i didnt get the records etc ect scam in reverse
