    Description : So yes I'm doing this report for my friend, and these two I thought were scammers because 1. The Vintage Cobra guy said he was a middleman of BBG, but the real Vintage Cobra is middleman for MCT.
    And yeah their profiles are on private and everything and the middleman blocked me. I told my friend it was suspicious because they overpaid by 4 times more then my friends backpack and they don't even have a official middleman. Someone please mark these bad people and keep them off the streets! I'll be checking this daily. Good day!
