SOLD/EXPIRED Leupold scope

I did get scammed for $245. Just to let everyone know. Someone reached out to me by text message claiming to be this seller. I had a bad feeling, but after all the vouches I went through with the purchase this morning. It was NOT this member but someone posing as him. I'm out my $245. Stay vigilant as these scammers are slick. Just a few words of warning.

Next time I think the buyers should review the seller's buying/ selling history. It was easy to see that the OP has a good history.

His history was good, I agree. But how did this low life scammer text me in regards to the listing and give me his PayPal info? It's a mystery to me. Cost me $245. Lesson learned.

Selling/buying history doesn't matter if the seller's account gets hacked. There's been a number of those instances lately. Glad it worked out and no offense to Toad.

Best to not post "I'll take it" or "pm sent" or anything for that matter in the WTS add. What happens is that the low-life scammer will then search for another post where you (the buyer) has given out their phone number or email and will then contact you saying they are the seller and send funds to their low-life_i'mascumbag@paypal account or whatever and then you're out the . Gotta stay vigilant and trust your instincts these days! Ask to talk on the phone if you are uncertain!!!
