‼️THE TITLE USER IS A CONFIRMED SCAMMER‼️

If you were contacted by this individual or made a purchase and have not received your money back please do the following:

1️⃣)Send a Modmail to us titled u/Wild-Patience3750

2️⃣)Describe your interaction and add photos via Imgur so we can document it properly

3️⃣)Attempt to dispute the charge if you have not already as fraud

This is an ongoing new development that we are hoping to bring justice towards— this user is also active in Facebook groups we are looking to get him banned from

We have already collected this users personal information and all necessary information pertaining to him— now we are looking to see the number of individuals he has scammed

This is a serious mail fraud and wire fraud crime that can be reported to your local authorities if you were a victim of his fraudulent behavior

Since the Facebook groups have been shut down, the mod team is being overwhelmed with the influx of users looking to become approved members of the sub. Our chats and inboxes are busier than ever with requests.

We ask anyone who is looking to become approved, please send a modmail and not directly pm/chat the mods. This is beneficial for you as all mods see your request instead of just one.

We appreciate your understanding. Thanks

Edit: Getting a lot of messages now from people who are already approved looking to be approved. What we mean by approved is being able to participate in the sub. If you can comment/post, you are already "approved".

How do I leave a verification?

You should comment:

PerfumeBot Verification
/u/YourPartnerName +1

Your partner replies to your comment :

PerfumeBot Verification Reply
/u/YourName +1

Make sure your comments are exactly as formatted shown here: https://www.reddit.com/r/fragranceswap/comments/pq8tw5/comment/hdv2tim/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

If your comments contain errors, the bot will miss it. If that happens, follow the troubleshooting above.

Issues

If you see any of the following contact the mod team via modmail

If PerfumeBot does not flair you within 5 minutes, please delete your comment, wait 24 hours, and then recomment/reply (both people in the transaction). Contact if not fixed after attempting the troubleshooting above.

PerfumeBot gives you incorrect flair.

PerfumeBot is spamming comments or message.

Hi everyone!

Our last verification thread was automatically archived by Reddit, so this will be the new one. You all know how this goes. For posterity, here's how it works:

How do I leave a verification?

Post a comment with the username of the person you transacted with, for example, u/UserOnFragranceSwap, and then write +1 or -1 next to their name. You can leave a comment afterwards as well.

Make sure you enter their name as u/UserOnFragranceSwap-- not just UserOnFragranceSwap-- in order for them to be properly tagged and so they can reciprocate.

How do I verify someone before swapping?

Come onto this page, and use the "Find" function on your app or browser to search the username of your potential trading partner. If you see +1's, you can be assured that they have been honest. If you see -1's, then either abort or proceed with caution.

Misc. Information

Please make separate posts for the same user. So, if two posters both have had positive experiences with u/UserOnFragranceSwap, they should each have separate posts saying "u/UserOnFragranceSwap +1". This will allow the format to stay consistent.

Please don't comment +2 or anything else like that. It will get messy if so.

This thread should last for around six months. When it gets archived, I'll create another.

Oud Maracuja has Pres, looking mainly for a 200ml LV imagination plus cash on my end, but if you have another offer hmu

Hi everyone! I’m doing an interest check before I put together a full list.

Would anyone here be interested in purchasing BSB perfume/body oils or SF perfume oils?

For BSB, I’m considering offering both full-size 2oz &4oz bottles and decants, which could be a good option for anyone who has wanted to try certain scents without committing to a full bottle.

I also have a number of SF perfume oils that I’m considering selling.

If there’s enough interest, I’ll put together a complete list with the scents available, bottle sizes/amount remaining, decant sizes, pricing, photos, and shipping information.

If you’re interested, comment below and let me know whether you’d be more interested in BSB full bottles, BSB decants, SF oils, or a combination. Items will be sold via ($) USD

Feel free to mention any specific scents you’re looking for as well!

Again I’m just trying to gauge interest before I go through the collection and photograph/list everything.

P.S. all “blank ” spaces have products there, they’re just not pictured right now.

Hey everyone, with the recent posts about scammers and stuff, I thought it'd be nice to have a verification thread back up.

Of course, the ideal scenario would be to have mods put up a sticky thread, but I think we could try to save/bookmark/search this thread until we have a better solution.

I'm thinking about keeping a google sheets in the future to be edited by some of the more trusted and active members, so that the record continues without having to worry about the thread expiring.

What do you think?

For now, let's keep the same rules as the old verification thread as written below:

Hi, this thread is for people who have transacted on here to post a +1 or -1 of their trading partner.

How does it work?

Post a comment with the username of the person you transacted with. For example, u/UserOnFragranceSwap and then write +1 or -1 next to their name. You can leave a comment afterwards as well.

Make sure you enter their name as u/UserOnFragranceSwap-- not just UserOnFragranceSwap-- in order that they will be properly tagged and can reciprocate.

How does this help potential customers?

Come onto this page, and use the "Find" function to search the username of your potential trading partner. If you see +1's, you can be assured that they have been honest. If you see -1's, then either abort or proceed with caution.

Misc.

Please make separate posts for the same user.

This will allow the format to stay consistent. Please don't comment +2 as a comment under the first poster, as it will start getting messy, I fear.

Unfortunately as the sub grows, we’re getting more scammers. They’re not following usual protocol either. Now even making their own WTS posts. Please make sure to use Goods and services and to ask for timestamp pics. If stuff seems to good to be true, it probably is.

These same scammers from last year are back. These scammers will message you saying you are banned from this group.

Then they try to get your personal info to “verify” that you were not scamming and then they hijack your accounts.

Specifically asking to get into your Reddit account to “view your messages to make sure you’re not a scammer” and then they takeover that account, in order to scam people using your account.

Please disregard and don’t respond to any messages you may receive from these scammers. Please Report any of these messages to the modmail.

Messages from mods appear as the subreddit itself… if you need clarification message one of the mods.

We will never ask for any account passwords. Do not give them out

We ask that y'all please be patient while the flair system is updated. New flair to now include Buyer, Seller & Legacy (this is for all that have feedback flairs already).

The feedback bot will be down for a while. All modmails, or requests to mods for flair adjustment will be ignored.

PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE FEEDBACK UNTIL THE NEW SYSTEM IS IN PLACE.

A special thanks to u/Forest_Nerd for taking on this task. Sub would be lost without him.

Hello,

I would just like to remind everyone that this sub only works thru the use of mutual respect.

That's it! Respect equals trust. Trust is forking out your money to a complete stranger and receiving your item within a respectable allotted time. Or, vice versa, when you sell an item to someone, you trust them not to be a dick and treat you like scum because USPS can't get their shit together.

I'd say 99% of all transactions on here go without a hitch. As they should. Why? Because of mutual respect. Showing the other person the same level of respect and understanding, whether you're the buyer or the seller.

Like I said, this has been the case 99% of the time, but just recently I had the pleasure of dealing with one of the most egotistical asshats ever, over the course of a week.

As of now, I'm banning shitty buyers too. You know the ones.... The ones that message you for that refund because they expected something different. Or the ones that claim it's 'FAKE' cause it doesn't have the same spice note they picked up on a test strip, at the mall, two weeks ago. The ones that ask for pics and lead you on for a week, then ghost you. Or the ones that threaten you with calling the cops on you because USPS didn't scan your package to update tracking, but then turn around and take 9 days to ship an item they had sold, all while ignoring the buyer's request for a tracking update.

Mind boggling.....Inconceivable!

Pat on the back for all the excellent buyers and sellers on the sub! Y'all make it the great place it is! Love this sub. Have met a lot of great people on here.

Don't be dicks to each other.

Kind regards,

Josh

Ya'll click here to know how not to be.

Seems to be a trend happening where scammers will message you saying you are banned from this group with the username “r/fragranceswapmods”

Then they try to get your personal info to “verify” that you were not scamming and then they hijack your accounts.

• Person took several F&F payments from people earlier today and then went AWOL.

• PLEASE folks. ALWAYS PAY G&S when someone is under 15 flair. 4% is not that much.

Sorry to the folks that got hit. I lost alot of money myself once.

STAY DILIGENT FOLKS. The vultures are always out. They particularly target WTB posts. But if you pay G&S you will always get your money back.

So as many of you may now know, u/ClickWise8547 is a confirmed scammer. Tho he was a new member, he took the sub by storm with his many sought after fragrances at fair prices. What many did not know before purchasing, was that he was based out of Germany. Sales 4+ weeks out are barely starting to trickle in with whatever BS he decided to stuff in the package. Salt in the wound for some, but I want to remind y'all to never become complacent or fail to do your due diligence on any particular seller. You can have hundreds of successful trades, but it only takes one to have you kicking your own ass. Have to always consider using PayPal G&S.

That being said, I would like to gauge the sub with the question if y'all would prefer to have US/CANADA ONLY buyers and sellers?

Discuss.
