SCAM wrong, false alarm

Laelkhunter said:
To me, the clue would be that the seller was using an account that appeared to not have many posts in 12 years, then suddenly, lists an item for sale. I would call that a clue which would cause me to look and investigate further before sending him any money. That's all. You have been a member since Dec 2024 and you have 237 posts. See where I'm going ?? The seller had less than 50 posts over his entire membership period. Seller could be legit, but I wouldn't send him any money without further verification.

Except it wasn't 12 years. Do you believe it was because @Laelkhunter said so.

I have been a member since at least 2012 but my profile is new. Doesn't mean squat other than I got hacked. You can attempt to rebut that but you would be wrong. My profiles other places weren't disturbed. As I have said, the admins won't tell me what happened.

This is a profile membership from on of the other forums. This is my old id.

The OP is not out the $60. He overreacted. Slandered the seller in public. Others jumped in and published private details.

From what I pieced together, OP did send someone $60. I'm just not sure if that was the actual seller.

It almost seems like a man in the middle scam, but we don't have all the info to really know.

I'm not sure what the misunderstanding is. It's not because I "say so". C416R's avatar says "Joined Dec 31, 2012" Messages 46. It's 2025, so how is that "not 12 years"? My point is the original C416R hasn't been real active, and suddenly posts items for sale. Apparently the point I'm trying to make is that someone possibly hacked C416R account and now it appears active again. The culprit would be the hacker, not C416R. ByronP as well as everyone else can see the avatar and what is contained therein. It's not because I say it, it's because it's there in black & white.

As LuvDog stated above, it's the man in the middle.
 
As another member has asked this, I will ask it too @ByronP What does this mean? SCAM wrong, false alarm

Did you change the title? If so, perhaps time now you need to let everyone know and right the boat...For the seller and us...
 
Everyone here should go back and read this now and see what's taking place! Ridiculous.

SOLD/EXPIRED - Norma 30-06 once fired brass

$60 is gone out my account That doesn't mean you are not going to get your brass. Did you consider that between the time you sent the Venmo and the time you started slandering the seller, HE MAY HAVE BEEN AT WORK. THERE MAY BE A FAMILY ISSUE. Then comes home to you calling him a scammer, do...
