I use PayPal and almost never buy used....except maybe a tape deck of course, as they are no longer made. Also, nothing wrong with buying new or used on credit, or so called borrowed money. I only do this when I get zero percent financing...you can’t really lose doing it this way, unless of course you default on the payments.
Fraud and scam, how many of you are victims?
I was a victim of the most unpleasant experience just recently.I thought i was buying a preamp, but it proves i have been sending money to a scammer. It turns out the seller had been using a stolen ID and digitally manipulated photos.
I managed to get in contact with the fellow whos ID had been stolen, and it proves many more have been scammed like me. I'd like to point out that this is NOT through Audiogon, but another big sight.
Utterly painful when it's borrowed money. This makes me totally rethink any future purchase on the used marked.
I wonder how many of you fellow audio-friends have had this happen to you?
