Two days ago I received the same email from Kaspian271275 though the Forum. It seems he is back testing the water again after his attempts earlier in the year.

lfid · 08-16-2008, 02:21 AM

I received the first scam copy Tuesday, August 12, 2008 11:41 AM from "This is a message from Kaspian271275 at LugerForum Discussion Forums" and included "OR, by email: shipwrecks.research271275@yahoo.com"

then the response from him comes from Pawel Nowak <shipwrecks.research271275@yahoo.com> with the 1916 luger pictures , etc

and then the trust me and be my importer type of msg from same address

thanks for the info about this

should I be concerned about my email account ?

thanks
Bill

Just don't reply to the email messages at the address he sends. He has no way of determining your real email address unless you reply, since he used the blind email feature of the forum to initiate the discussion.

John Sabato · 08-16-2008, 09:52 AM

If any member gets an email with a request to respond to this address:

Shipwrecks.Research271275@yahoo.com

or any email address that even looks close to this. Sometimes the perpetator uses this email address with some additional letters or numbers on the front end as part of the address...

JUST DO NOT RESPOND... and you can't have a problem.

This Forum is Great! I to have have just recieved Pawel Nowak's 1916 Luger offer and recieved his Luger photos and documents. My first red flag was his intrest in Medal Detecting, Sailing and the like. Hey, a fellow with my same intrest! Then I thought this almost sounds like my old Yahoo profile! MMM??? Then he is in Poland. I have been bruned before in dealings with sellers in Europe. (lucky small amounts). Thanks John and Ed for this site!

I have received his pictures and documents emails - but have not responded further.

thanks

I guess this is not even his real name, DL or passport. He would be an idiot if he would show his real identity. I guess he uses a DL and a passport from a guy who lost his wallet. Maybe even some photos were in this wallet. The best way is just to ignore his offers.

Ron Wood · 08-31-2009, 11:20 PM

Nah, that is his real name and passport. He has been using his ID for a couple of years now. He seems to think that gives him an aura of legitimacy, and unfortunately a lot of people buy it. I guess he has enough valid deals and contacts to keep Interpol off his back.

suum cuique · 11-11-2010, 03:07 PM

I just learned that P N is back "in business", offering nazi swords, daggers and japanese militaria.
I was trying to find some information about a German dragoon rgt. on a great german swords collectors forum,(blankwaffenforum) they just announced that Pawel Nowak has tried to ripp off some members over there.

His actual nick is HORATIO
