Don’t do business with this person

[Reef Plop]

Wouldn’t do business with this person at all. I paid on Sunday for the two mp40’s and two wet sides were also supposed to be included in the deal. She said that she was going to send them out the next day before noon. I contacted the person three days in a row and still haven’t heard anything back. I can tell she’s been active and reviewing threads on the forum but yet has to respond back to my email, my messages on the forum, and on PayPal. I definitely wouldn’t buy anything from this person. Just sad considering I spent 515.44.

ADMIN EDIT: The seller in this transaction was @FreeEnergy

Sorry to hear but at least you use PayPal so you have recourse

Yeah it just sucks, I already made a dispute on PayPal so I’m currently trying to get my money back.

I see the members name but zero threads from the user.. not even that sale thread.. weird! Maybe they got banned already or something… or a straight up scammer!

PayPal should take care of you. It’s a sucky situation, sorry that happened to you.

This is something I always check before purchasing from members

 

[Troylee]

Hate to say it but that’s most likely a scammer! They padded their post count with “welcome” to new members and that’s it! Zero contributions and zero threads! Good thing you protected yourself with PayPal!

My question for the scammer. Why even go through the trouble when the transaction is going through PayPal? Good luck OP

They joined April or looks like it posted a bunch to qualify for a sales

Looks like it wasn’t a thread but they reached out to the OP by pm in response to a WTB post. I agree though, very likely a scammer.

Luckily you used Paypal. This is a good reminder to everyone not to use a payment method that doesn't offer buyer protection (i.e. Venmo, Cashapp, etc.)

Because the paypal account is a dummy account. You can open one and as long as the transaction is less than $600 you don't have to do anything that ties you to it. You just send the money to another account and it is gone.

Thankfully paypal will refund his money and try and go after the scammer. But they won't get anything back.

SAD....

Yup. Here is everyone's reminder to be careful buying from people with no history.

100% chance if you post a WTB thread anywhere you will be contacted by at least one scammer.
