I feel stupid paypal f&f $200 to him for stock,did not catch it till he wanted screenshot of payment,filed complaint with paypal but don,t think. It will do any good since I sent it f&f I would not feel stupid, it's in our nature to trust everyone on here. I would consider it a cheap lesson, some have been taken for a deeper ride. I purchased a Burris scope from an Ebay auction that seller had a ton of positive feedback, turns out it was a lot of small sales, most likely to themselves, only after I got curious about the number of positive feedback in such a short time did I realize my mistake, Ebay and PayPal refused to do anything, Mastercard made it right since I used that as my payment method. It did take a while, about a month later a pair of Gucci women's sunglasses showed up, gawd Paris Hilton type crap, local optical place swore they were real, gave them to a friend's wife, seller did not ding me on feedback but was able to dispute it and get it removed.

I don't understand the F/F thing with most people, what are we talking about 3% extra on stuff? JFC if your so desperate over a few extra bucks on a sale I feel sorry for you. I just shake my head a people that list something for sale for 50 bucks and want F/F or the buyer to add 3%. If you need the money that bad add it into your selling price and not look like a fuggin tightwad, it's called the cost of doing business.

Short time I posted WTB for Ithaca 37 20 ga. stock. Received PM from him referring me to richardboy025 in Chicago, telling me he had the stock. Didn't seem right, didn't go any farther.

Yes I figured that out. He responded to a WTB ad I put up with info about someone who had what I sought, and it was a clear scam from there.
