Scrumpot 1 #2 February 23, 2013 And another fairly recent anomaly resurging - "ghost" sellers, whose ads look good (even have pictures, etc.) because they are copying OLD (but not that old) ads of other, prior legitimate sales - and they get you to pay (even through paypal - they can open & close & move on pretty quickly; rinse/repeat from accounts even there) for something you will NEVER receive. It pays to be a little less impulsive, and do some independent CHECKING on any transaction - from either side of the equation - and yes, this is a very good reminder of that.coitus non circum - Moab Stone Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catfishhunter 1 #3 February 24, 2013 If they don't post on dz.com they had better be able to give you a reference that someone on here knows. We are not a huge group of folks. If you jump there is someone on on dz.com that either knows you of knows someone that knows you. Also I do not accept checks cash, wire transfer, credit card with adult signature required and insured shipping and only shipped to the credit card billing address. Follow those rules and your not getting scammed. MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have. We must live life to the fullest EVERY DAY. Everything we do should have a greater purpose. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
