I paid via PayPal “Friends and Family” as I have done repeatedly over the years without an issue (through email and texting). I guess I was lucky in the past, but not now. I’ve always had sellers be upfront and honest. This was a first. I will have to be extremely careful from now on. I’ve collected since 1981. Never happened before.

Outside of this board, I pay the extra 3%. Too many scammers these days.

I even do it here.

I was burned on a different forum by a longtime member with an impeccable reputation. Package was lost and basically got the runaround, then he disappeared from the board. Now I pay by G&S and add the fees, always.

Try charging it back through your bank as fraud...

Does Leon have any useful information on him at all (city, phone number, etc)? I'm guessing that's a no, but some crooks are pretty dumb.

The person never registered through the system. They had 0 posts. Let it be known that anyone with 0 posts and brand new should need to have some good references to do a deal. Or any member can PM me and I will always try to help. Had I gotten a PM before this happened it wouldn't have happened.

So then he wouldn't have ever actually been able to PM anybody on the board, correct?
