Don't be conned out of your money.


Recommended Posts

Saw this post on CoastfishTV (on Facebook) about a guy (and possibly a female partner) that has been dwindling money and fishing gear out of people.

 

https://www.facebook.com/CoastfishTV/?fref=nf (for those on FB, you may have to scroll down for this particular post, although atm it is staying near the top with all the comments)

 

I think he is interstate and may have been happening for many years, so putting this info up for all, especially our interstate members.

 

So be wary of buying anything from unknown people as you don't want to say goodbye to some some hard earned cash.

 

The following are some names he has gone by but there are of others as well.

 

 

WARNING Be wary of this fella especially if you intend on purchasing fishing gear. This person goes by several names on various fishing forums and Instagram including 'Daiwafreak' 'Jack Williams' 'Billy Johnson' 'John Johnson' 'Jett' 'Billy' 'Jigman72' 'Lure Junkie Jack hunter'. He even decided to contact me!
Some of the claims being made by victims are:


Takes you out fishing (several trips in some cases) and offers to sell you highly discounted Daiwa fishing rods and reels which he will personally deliver after you have paid him. Then he disappears with your money. 


States he has cancer and uses this fabrication and emotionally charged sickness to exploit victims for both goods and money. 
Borrows fishing equipment and then disappears.


Shuts down and reopens Facebook pages and Instagram accounts. 


He may also provide you with a contact number. This number is disconnected. He will claim he is out of range if you message him about the number not working. 


Unfortunately a number of fishos have fallen victim to this con mans antics. Be vigilant when purchasing fishing tackle from an unreputable seller and use all safe avenues when making your transaction. If you have been a victim of this person please let us know and I will endeavour to have it followed up. PLEASE SHARE.
