As the title states I had been saving up for a Garmin chronograph. Today one was posted by a lil rokslider with several posts so I thought I was safe. The username wabowman posted one for $400. Good deal but not stupid cheap that it raised red flags. I sent payment through paypal f&f as I normally do and never had a problem.
It was when other roksliders started messaging me that he was still trying to sell it to them because I had backed out for various reasons. They stated they wanted to buy it and was curious why I passed. I advised them all I had paid the $400 and that i was likey scammed and cautioned them to not proceed.
I dug through the members previous posts and found a phone number for him. I called and he had no idea what I was talking about so he had been hacked. I want to make it clear that I am not blaming the member, I do suspect his account has been compromised. Anyway unfortunately I paid f&f and lost $400..... guess I'll start saving again. Just wanted to let others know. Be careful out there and be cautious. I dont consider myself stupid and he got me. Can happen to anyone.
