is this a scam? how to avoid scammers any personal experiences?
Posted: Fri May 27, 2016 9:06 pmsorry if i already posted this. I could not find my previous post so i uploaded it again sorry.
I understand this may be off topic and this is from another toy forum but i feel comfortable asking here because i do not want that person to see this on the previous forum.
thanks for your understanding.
On another toy forum a member wanted to sell me mint rotf legends wheelie. I agreed. But the price they charged was ludacris. On ebay it is only 30 bucks. they wanted 43 bucks; you could buy age of extinction leader optimus prime for that amount of money. I made a deal with them saying i'd make a trade instead. They seemed to agree.
They listed characters they wanted such as cw onslaught. I said i'd buy it for them on amazon, ship it to their address and email them photos of tracking and buying confirmation.
then all of a sudden they said to send 43 bucks through paypal and then they would pay later. What does that even mean? This is when a red flag came up they said they need the cash now in order to help a "friend."
isn't that what most scammers say that they have to help a "friend."
He had a good feedback record from others who have traded with them b4.
-thanks
has anyone been scammed b4 and could help me avoid it?
-thank you very much.
