Fraud /SCAM

I recently bought an item with Audiogon. I bought the item on 10/06/2022 and the seller gave me a fake UPS tracking # 1Z62Y7Y80356214061. I believe the tracking number is fake because the item I bought weigh about 17.3 pounds and the item he sent was only 1.7 pounds.

He also entered the UPS tracking number via Paypal instead of entering the tracking information from Audiogon. His tracking information is showing that it was sent from Mesa, AZ but from his Audiogon listing, it is showing that he is from Atlanta, GA

 

I never receive my order but his fake ups tracking number is showing it was delivered 10/07/2022. I even checked my front door and found nothing. I did use Paypal and will create a dispute against this seller tomorrow. The seller is new to Audiogon.

 

Below is the Audiogon listing of the item I bought:

PayPal almost always favors the buyers.  If you are buying from a site like ebay or audiogon and USAM, paypal is best used as buyer.  

As a seller you can get scammed since they favor the buyer.  A friend sold Rims to a high end BMW and the buyer returned them, but put bricks in the box.  As the seller he had zero way to prove it.  

Best advise is look at the buyer and sellers history.  Zero is very very bad.
