Also don't ovetlook that these scambo's are seeking
email & telephone info.
I had to wipe all my devices from a near transaction on Ebay.
 
I had given the guy my email before I realized it was a scam. He sent a single pic of the lower half of a guitar that was probably found in the internet.
Here is our email conversation-

anthonymarc5678; It cost 700$ plus shipment let me know if you in

Me;Sure thing. I can make payment as soon as it arrives.

anthonymarc5678; No I can only accept you paying half payment then when you receive it you pay the balance that all I can do let me know if you ready

Me; How about this; you ship half the guitar and once I receive it I pay you a deposit. Then I pay in full when I receive the other half of the guitar.

anthonymarc5678; No I don’t do my business like that you pay half then when you get you goods you balance up you can pay through Venmo or zelle or PayPal let me know if you interested

I only buy or sell on forums through a PayPal invoice with a detailed description. I know a lot of people act like the PP fee is going to kill them, but that’s why the service is there. To protect both the buyer and the seller.
 
Again, a little caution, a little common sense go a long way. Regular PayPal is nice. 3% is nothing compared to peace of mind. A heads up from fellow forumites when they have a situation go bad is nice. The reality is a new member can be solid as a rock and just needs to show it but I think we've all seen the opposite too where somebody's life has taken a turn for the worse and even though they had always been golden things start to go bad. For those of us who don't live in major metro areas, places like this are the only way we can learn about, experience and try the less common gear. I've been lucky through the years and not had many deals go bad but I also try my best to hold up my end as well. Good karma and all...

Holy shit, that's crazy. I did send you a PM, can't say I've seen something to this extent before. I did find it weird that the one thing missing from the photo was the actual pedal.
 
Yeah I dont know what happened .... Looks like I was hacked but I come on here pretty often so I got your message right away.
 
Received your report. Unfortunately AFAIK there's nothing we can do about it mate.

Resetting your password was a good move and the only one I can think of that makes any sense anyway, so touch wood you should be OK from now on.

I can see why someone might want to do this:
Pretend to be selling something under your name, receive some money and then disappear, leaving you holding the ball.

What a POS. :thumbsdown:
 
Be sure to verify your email account on file to a mod immediately. A mod had to change my email on file back to my own. They changed the email too so I couldn’t reset.

Admins/mods should be sure to change their own passwords more often.

It happened to me as well a few months ago. Shit was scary, some hacker was about to close a deal on an amp I didn’t even own or post about.

Whoa!!! That’s horrible. Thieves and scammers are the worst. I saw a thing on YouTube where they interview a bunch of scammers and these guys were proud of what they were doing. They said they were like modern day Robin Hood’s and they were just stealing from the rich which was total BS. They were stealing from anyone they could, including senior citizens(saddest thing I’ve ever seen, after working and saving their entire lives to lose it all) in romance scams and taking everything these senior citizens have leaving them broke and destitute. I would like to see how they feel after someone drains their account and then beats the living shit out of them. These guys also do home invasions on fellow scammers homes.(too bad they don’t all simultaneously waste each other) Their hypocrisy knows no bounds. Of course, they were out of reach of most law enforcement in Africa.
