If you can find the UPS store that he sent that package from they might be able to get some sort of video to help with your police case.

I almost got taken for an archery release. I bugged the guy until he venmoed my payment back. Between that and horror stories like this I am hesitant to buy anything that isn’t face to face. It is a shame scammers like this don’t usually get what they deserve.

Reading the post it sounded like he started off legitimately but then changed his mind. Either that or he really thought this through.

Any options with the USPS as that’s what he sent it through?

The hells on his face ?

I was going to money order him for an E&E if he could provide the user names he previously sold to so i could message them and see how the transaction went , he squashed that idea. Now i know why.

Someone on the post called him out for being fishy too, pretty early on the first day. Honestly I thought it was legit, I’m sorry for anyone that lost out in that deal.

Yeah, and the guy got blasted for saying it sounded fishy.

It's no problem.. you just have to use a payment means which holds the money in sort of an Escrow where you have to then acknowledge you rec'd the transaction and it's satisfactory.. then you go in and release the payment fully. When you submit the payment... it's like not in your hand anymore... but the haven't yet put it in his either. Then the step is his side click that it's en route.... the payment click to another status, but not yet in his hands... then when you're happy... you release the funds to their side.

Most don't like to use that though because then the seller got docked like a 3% fee on their side for the service that offers protection to the buyer.

Dang it.. my keyboard is on its last legs. Sorry for the typos

Scammed for a 22 mag. More pissed I can’t get one in time for my hunt than anything!

Venmo and CashApp don’t offer these features….

If he used the USPS, that is mail fraud. You can call the Postmaster and ask them how to proceed. The problem is he actually sent you a package and now it is your word against his as to what was in the package. Same with calling the cops.

It’s OUR word against his. It isn’t just one person. I’m planning on calling Austin police tomorrow. Here’s the number to PD +1 (512) 974-8243
