Hi

A few months ago I placed a wanted ad on this forum, I got a response that a (so called) member was at another members place and said he had what I was looking for here is his email address. I contacted the person he said he had what I was looking for, I asked for some pictures which he supplied and a price.

It all seemed legitimate, this wasn’t my first time buying something from a member. He said to send a paypal payment and he would ship right away.

He asked me to send it as a friend payment (more on this later)

The email I sent the PayPal payment to failed and he sent me back the payment and asked me to resend with a different email. This didn’t seem right, I refused to send again, I got multiple emails from this person basically begging me to send the payment, I didn’t and it was a fraud ! I found out later that sending a payment as a friend gives you no recourse if it’s a fraud ! Since that incident I’ve received more private messages and emails. I was lucky the payment didn’t go thru. It’s so unfortunate that people are so dishonest.
