Talk about not knowing WTF is going on, WE DIDN'T EITHER! I would never trash someone if I didn't think he was the scammer, I did this to protect others from being scammed by whomever it was.
I apologized for the misunderstanding in PM, and i apologize here on the open forum.
My buddy is going to get the negative feedback taken down as well, I guess he just got fucked out of $325 dollars.
One thing that would help out in the classified is to mark your items sold and to whom, that locks the post up and doesn't allow scammers to sneak in which is exactly what happened in this case.
Or do your due diligence on who you are dealing with? A simple phone/video call would have helped out? Or double checking the profile… I’m sure the scammer had a newish profile.
No need for a shouting* match with all caps here…. Sorry you buddy got fucked. I had a potential buyer that was scammed but there was nothing I could have done. I had no idea he was chatting with someone impersonating me.
Just like you are asking seller to mark it as sold, how would that have helped your friend who publicly stated he was interested in the product? That’s gold for these scumbags.
At the end of the day, we are responsible for ourselves…. There’s plenty of posts about these scams and even a sticky at the top of this forum section. https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/avoid-fraud-with-this-feature.7074703/
