Has anyone dealt with Arcade Accessories

[Phils Arcade]

Has anyone dealt with Arcade Accessories on Facebook before? Looking to get a joystick of them, but always suspicious on first contact
Hate that I have to do these things these days.

Don't have PayPal and asking to use his brothers account, but doesn't want protected payments as they haven't worked in the past.

Always best to check, far too many scammers kicking around now 😞

So the guy is selling stuff like a shop but wants you to pay into his brothers account?

I would stay well away from that one.

avoid like the plague mate

if a business doesnt have a paypal account then i swerve it, infact i dont deal with people who dont have paypal, let alone companies

Quick update:

Seems that the Arcade Accessories account has disappeared.
Glad I didn't send them any money.

Were they on a group or did they have there own FB page?

Has their own Facebook page, see link above, though now only shows:



Wonder if they are on here and seen me posting this.

Strangely enough, another person I was in contact with, supposedly in the U.S. was also selling the joystick I was after, same as the guy on here.

Palmed him off as well as looked a little dodgy, though he was wearing a Sheriff uniform, giving that trust vibe.

His Facebook profile is now also missing.

yeah I've had quite a few scammers like that on my jukebox repair group, upload a picture of themselves in military or police uniform to try and gain your trust,
I can spot them a mile off now

As this hobby is quite small good info like this is quickly shared amongst the community.

I had exactly the same thing in a Neo Geo group when I made a wanted post for an MVS Neo Bomberman cart. New account, no previous posts, sheriff’s outfit.

Unfortunately, especially in the Neo Geo groups there are more and more scammers showing up. Some are particularly stupid though. One put an AES up for sale with a UK plug in the picture but he was supposedly in America.

Ah, U.K. import then, very rare, so needs more money 💸💸
