Winerocks what is not cool? Are you joking?
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.

@jayctoy referring to audioman getting scammed out of 12K. Decidedly not cool. |
@cohicks4 Scammers cannot pull money back from your bank account from a cleared check. A cashiers check is drawn on bank funds as it was purchased by the user. So, you deposit it, it clears, the money is yours. If the check is a fake the bank will spot it as soon as its put into the processing system. If you give up the speakers before the fake is discovered you lost your speakers. |
@bilateral so it's cool to have others scammed? Please do tell your side. |
