Well, here is a little story for you all. Two weeks ago, Sunday, 10/13, I contacted, via email, Mark Schifter, about his ad on US Audiomart, inquiring about the 3 power cords he advertised. After a few emails back and forth, I paid him, via Paypal ( he accepted friends and family ), for all 3 cords. He acknowledged payment received on the next day, Monday, 10/14, and he will ship them out soon, and let me know the carrier he used, along with a tracking number. Tuesday, 10/15 passes. Wednesday, 10/16, I emailed him about the shipping, and he indicated, later in an email, he, and his wife, Lynn, were both sick, and will forward my shipment asap. I decided to call him on Thursday morning, 10/17. I left a voice mail message, telling him I hope he and Lynn were ok, but, how I was getting nervous about the transaction. He called me back in 5 minutes, and told me the cables had been shipped, but, he was in his car and did not have the information of the shipper or tracking number, and he will forward it to me when he gets home. He did not sound sick to me. In fact, we spoke for a while, as we had met a long time ago when he was with AA. He sounded like a nice guy. On Friday afternoon, 10/18, I called, emailed and texted him, and never received a reply. Later that Friday night, I called Paypay, letting them know I lost contact with the seller, and because I paid friends and family, they could do nothing for me. They did, however, contact US Audiomart, and claimed fraud, so the ad was pulled. I still do not have my cables. I still have not heard from Mark, Lynn, their grandson, nobody. I still am out my money. Why did I do this to begin with ? From meeting Mark many years ago while he was with AA, and I suppose I remember him being a straight up guy. I was also in denial of many of the accusations about him. Why am I still thinking I might get my cables ? I certainly will not get my money. Anyway, Enjoy, MrD.
