Scammed by member MJW

As Ron White says: "You can't fix stupid". These threads with the same advice have been posted for years and people just don't heed it for some reason. I've said, ad nauseum, do a FaceTime or some type of video call with the seller holding the item and screen shot it. Don't understand the reluctance. I guess some folks have more money they're willing to lose than I do.

Not always the case! Two of us here did everything right and were scammed anyway, that's where things get aggravating as hell.

All for the 2F!

I hate scammers. My rule of thumb is to only roll the dice on an item I would not lose sleep over if I got stiffed. I would definitely lose sleep losing over $1k.

I’m not losing any sleep but I would like to get my hands around his little thieving neck and pop it like a pimple.

Or... now hear me out.... PM each other phone numbers and have a conversation prior to sending a complete stranger you met on the internet hundreds or thousands of dollars....

I've bought and sold quite a bit on here and EVERY SINGLE TIME there has been a conversation, and most of the time the conversation goes on for 30+ minutes and we both end up having questions and suggestions for one another... Pretty easy to use discernment.....

I do have been doing the exact same thing for years.
