BEWARE OF FRAUD with this member

FRAUD ALERT!
I recently sold a Mytek Liberty DAC to this user.

Buyer: locmao003
503-583-1266
locmao003@gmail.com

In the Audiogon Selling portal they listed their shipping address as a US Oregon address.
I shipped the item to this address. 
Paypal payment made to my account.
USPS Insured shipment, with delivery confirmation.
Delivery confirmed on June 11, 2021 by USPS.
I got an email, from a DIFFERENT email address stating they received the item.

Next, I got a dispute from Paypal saying the buyer never received the item.
The buyer listed their address as VIETNAM! Not Oregon.
I NEVER sell or ship overseas and would not have accepted this purchase if that was disclosed.
Paypal has approved the claim, and took my $500 payment back. I am left without the original DAC or payment.

BEWARE of this Buyer!

re: "USPS Insured shipment, with delivery confirmation."

For your USPS shipment, did you require signature, or confirmation only?

Yes, unfortunately the original payment info on Paypal was changed. Not sure how/when. But you are correct, that was the 'trick'. Since the Paypal shipping address was changed from Oregon to Vietnam...and I missed that. Paypal will not protect me, the Seller.
They did tell me they have seen this scam before...but they still took my money back.
