I received an offer for a preamp listing on USAUDIOMART from what I thought was a reputable buyer. The guy was associated with Audio Excellence in Canada, whose YouTube channel I subscribe to. He was using a company email address @audioexcellence.ca
I accepted his fair offer and he then asked for all my banking information so he could send the money via EFT. After I sent the info he basically ghosted me and I had to get shirty with him to force a response. His response was basically that I was involved in his holding pattern and he needed to sell something else to fund the sale. Basically BS. Now the dude has all my banking information. It’s about the dumbest thing I’ve done in 20 years of online trading.
Scam or not, it’s despicable how people can agree to a transaction, collect your financial information then walk away from the deal without consequence.
I’m now in dialogue with my bank over the security of my account. It’s a 25 year account which I use with various auto bill payments etc.
What a plonker I am.
