WaynedeJager 0 #1 October 1, 2014 Hey all you guys selling gear! I posted a rig for sale and had a guy contact me wanting to purchase the rig. His name is Tyler Goshawk. Anyway, the deal went this way. He paid using Paypal but added an additional $850 for shipping. I would then need to pay the 850 to some due in Florida(shipping agent) to collect the rig. This is after my e-mail showed the PayPal payment. Only things was why so much? Anyway, contacted Paypal and they informed me no such payment was pending or having been made. To cut a long story short, I would pay the 850 and he would cancel the PayPal payment and I would have lost the money! Careful dudes, there are assholes out there so beware for this guy and his scam!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnnyMarko 1 #2 October 1, 2014 Anytime someone offers you way more than what you're asking, then asks you to send those funds/leftover funds elsewhere, that is a huge red flag... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnMitchell 14 #3 October 1, 2014 A slight twist on an old story. Thanks for posting and glad you didn't bite on it. Although I've sold a lot of gear on DZ.com directly to others with no problem, it's often recommended to use a local (to the receiver) dropzone or rigging loft as an escrow agent in these transactions. Many will do it for no to a small fee. Hey, the name Tyler Goshawk? Does that ring a bell for anyone? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
