Where could the fraud take place?
« on: July 09, 2017, 05:59:33 PM »
I bought a pretty expensive guitar from an outfit in the UK. I used PayPal to pay, did everything up front with PayPal, asked the buyer to insure the package and send it signature required.

I haven't been able to reach him for a few days, which makes me nervous.

Is there somewhere in all this where I could be scammed?

I wonder if Dick ever got his last guitar.... =| =|
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Anywhere.
But thankfully you used PayPal. Easy to file a chargeback.
I needed a mod to change my signature because the concept of "family friendly" eludes me.
Just noticed that a mod changed my signature. How long ago was that?

Out of the loop, or just trying your hand at comedy?  =)

I no longer respect any of you. I hope the following offends you as much as this thread has offended me:
You are all awful people. I mean this *expletive deleted*ing seriously.
