Beware, scammers everywhere


Man, it just doesn’t stop.   I list an amp here, and immediately get a response.   Some back and forth on price, then it gets fishy.  “My partner and I will overnight the payment, we just need name and address.  Refuses PayPal, will only send from his/her bank.  All this over text, which should have been the first clue.  
I suspect the next thing would have been “we accidentally sent the money twice, can you send it back to us?” or something similar.  Been down that road before.   

None of this was due to the Audiogon platform, scammers find a way to get pretty much anywhere and everywhere.  If it seems fishy, run away.

@winerocks ,

I'm sure it hurt more to disappoint them than to lose the money.

That just sucks all around. Karma will get’em! It may take a while, but the bill always comes due.

@immatthewj ,

"I have only bought one second hand piece of gear from a private seller in my life, and for that we went COD. Is COD still a viable option?"

C.O.D?! Didn’t that predate electricity? What did you buy, a new harness for your oxen?

Follow up question; What were your thoughts on the Pony Express?😀

Isn’t that like 10 times more people than there is on Earth?

Somebody's stuffing that ballot box!
