OH Crap I think I just got scammed. I got this same PM on my parts wanted for the vector wheel adapters on Sunday, from Jean88. I called, he texted back, gave me a decent price. I used Zelle $145 shipped.
I'm so stupid I knew something was wrong when he texted me back today and said he needed $55 more that he made a mistake , something about his wife's Father had the parts and she made a mistake on the price. He said sorry and said he would refund the money if I didn't want them anymore. I said yes just refund it, then he texted back said he started the shipping process how about another $25.
I'm so embarrassed to even tell this story. I'm 66 and can't believe I fell for this knowing it smelt bad ,but still I trusted him because I had his # and email for Zelle. This never happened to me before, crap!

He deleted the conversation, but I have the email.

So sorry for your loss. Wish I would have had him deleted before you got caught up in it. Sounds exactly like the message I received. That was fishy in itself and then if you go and check him in the members forum you would see that he was new and that was a real telltale sign.

 

[tt455]

Thanks, Yeah, I saw he was new but I figured he was trying to help like most people in the hobby. The funny thing is I'm still getting texts saying they'll have tracking # for me. Why even bother texting me, you have my money?

 

[Blacky]

Sad. Most members on this board are great to deal with or Shane gets rid of them. Just check their history first. And I don't email or call anybody unless I know exactly who I'm calling by checking the member history. He's probably hanging in there in case you want more

 

[tt455]

yeah maybe his sister has some parts for me.

He's not hanging in here, that's for sure.

 

[Blacky]

Oh I agree Chuck but he keeps texting him now that he knows his phone number. That's why nobody should ever call that number

Sorry to hear. It's a sad day when a trusting person(like yourself) is betrayed by a low life piece of shit. It might be a good idea to state(in future ads), that you'll only buy from a reputable member. That weeds out a lot of the garbage.
