Remember:

  • DO NOT do business with anyone who offers to send you payment for a higher amount than your selling price with the understanding that you'll send back the balance.

  • Be suspicious of anyone claiming to be acting on behalf of a "client" or another "customer".

  • Be suspicious of anyone claiming to be from Nigeria or West Africa

  • If you agree to accept a check payment, then do not send anything, gear or "change" before the check cleared. And be careful, if you manage to clear a fraudulent check then you may be liable for the damages if the bank finds out later. Make sure your bank authenticates the check.

  • If it sounds to good to be true, then it probably is.

Here's the same crap from that pig

Good day ,
> Thanks for your swift response ,I really appreciate your quick response towards making a successful transaction .About the present working condition of the item as stated by you,I am really pleased with it,but i belived you are telling me the real act,because i cannot come over to your location now due to the nature of my work.Well, the asking price is okay by me for 1300$ I would be offering you 1400$. for the payment of the everything, reason for this is that i want you to make sure you reserved the item for me and consider it sold to any other enquiries. Also,I have forward your mail to my associate to send you the payment and also instruct him to include the shipping fee to your payment,because he has arrange for the shipping. So immediately you recieve the Certified Cashier Cheque Or MoneyOrder you would needs to send the shipper's payment to them. If this arrangement is ok by you . and i want buy it for my Inlaw in Holland and I am located in Scotland aberdeen ,i would be very glad if you can get it sold to me . I will like you to get back to me with your full details so that i can forward the payment to you immediately.

and i haven't even jumped with it EVER = -_- = it's new
what a waste of my money = -_- =

why do ppl do this anyway? is anyone really stupid enough to send them the rig before having them pay for it?

I've been on to this as a scammer for a few weeks and I just wanted to see if a check actually showed up in the mail... So far nothing yet.

Here's a copy of our e-mail conversation:

Phillip,

I have another buyer. Besides all that, I just noticed that you are on the "Security and Scams Alerts" forum on dropzone.com and quite frankly, I think that you might be full of shit.

If you are in the business of scamming people, you might want to get your shit together and move things along a lot quicker to get it over with before people catch on to your bullshit.

If a check from you does finally show up, I will authenticate it through my bank and if it is fraudulant I will forward it to the proper authorities.

Thank you very much for wasting my time in selling this canopy... FUCK OFF ASSHOLE!

Sincerely,
John Zagoda

P.S. If you are actually are a skydiver, I hope that you bounce while jumping gear that you stole from somebody.

I do have another buyer very interested, but I will sell it to you because I know that it will make somebody's Christmas very special. The $2275 (U.S.) is very generous and I will reserve it for you. I will cover the entire shipping cost for that price. It will take 6 to 10 days for shipping. I will ship it as soon as payment clears.

Please send payment to:
John M. Zagoda
Z Tarp and Equipment Corp. (Do not include this on the check)
20654 Amherst Court
Unit C
Joliet, IL 60433
815-341-5723 (mobil phone... I'm available any time)

Thank you...

$1900 for the canopy, extra line set and stock slider.

I f you're interested, I'll only charge you $20 for shipping and I'll cover the rest.

last price

John Zagoda wrote: The canopy is still for sale. The only flaws on the
canopy are two very small pin holes on the center cell
of the tail. They have been there for over 200 jumps
and haven't gotten any worse, so I haven't seen a need
to repair them. Besides that the canopy is perfect.

The only reason I'm selling it is to buy a slightly
smaller one.

I will send a picture of the two pin holes I mentioned
later this week. The canopy is in my rig that is an
hour away from me and I won't have a chance to get it
for a couple days.

The RDS is the best that you can get. If you really
want performance I strongly recommend using an RDS
with the JVX... It flies like a completely different
canopy.

I am fine with certified bank check or money order. I
would have to get an estimated cost for shipping
before you would send payment.

I have several others interested in the canopy, but
nobody committed.

Thank you,

John Zagoda
