If you are looking to by this camera, make sure that you can receive it in person before wiring any money. I pressed Jacob for references and information he could not produce. If he is legit, he should be able to prove it. This was my story with him. Be careful.

We contacted him a few days ago. Asked him to send some photos. He sent 3 images. Seemed legit. As long time Red Users and having bought and sold a number of items, we always do our homework. We have never had a bad experience. So we dug in on this. I asked him if he had any refrences. He said he purchased a set of Leica primes from Alexander Safdie. So I pinged Alexander and he said no one named Jacob Bowman ever purchased a set of primes. So I told Jacob that and then he responded saying he put up half the money for Antonie Fabi. Obviously a big name on Red User. Spoke with Alexander again and he said Antonie had been interested, but in the end he sold the set to someone else.

So we dug a bit deeper. Found that the images he sent of the camera were the exact same images Beau Khaler posted back in December for Epic W #000132. This was odd as that camera had sold and Jacob told me that he had purchased the camera direct from Red in Hollywood. I asked him about this and he said that he purchased the camera with Beau. Another flag. Spoke with Beau and he said that is not who he sold the camera to in December, did not buy it together with Jacob and he does not know the guy at all.

Then Jacob told me to call Limelight Films, Elect Films and West Broadcast HD as he had worked for all of them since 2012. All these places said they did not know of a Jacob Bowman and he had never worked with them before.

So I continued to follow this a bit further as I was pretty sure it was a scam and I can’t stand that these people would get someone on Red User. I told him I was ready to go and would fly down to pick the camera up. He said that was fine, but would need to still take payment by wire because cash or check would not work. I had offered Pay Pal previously and he said his partner had issues in the past and it only protects the buyer. So he sent me his wire details. The name on the wire was Reginald Sims. This is a known scam name on DVX User and other forums.

Watch out! Jacob's story does not add up. After our conversation he immediately closed the posted as sold. Now it is back up.
