Hey I need some advice guys. I need some parts that I am going to order from some guy I met on a forum.. well this one to be exact... anyway he is telling me some un-believeable cheap prices but will only accept check or money order....what do you think i should do to not get scammed? thanks

 

dont doo it.

 

Go to his house that way if he scams you then you can kick in his door!

 

No!

 

scam scam scam scam scam scam scam scam scam !!!

 

Maybe you could do a wire transfer to his bank account. That'd give you hard evidence of the transaction and a place to start if you need to track him down. Another precaution would be to write up a simple contract and both sign it.

 

well he lives a few states away from me... that was the first thing i checked!! I figured if i get robbed i can go to his house... but it is real far... anyway he gave me his adress and phone # but i just dont understand why someone cant accept pay pal... he refuses to let me send it though pay-pal... i like pay-pal because i got robbed before but i paid the extra $5 so i got my money back...his name is 1accord2nv and is a HAN member... i check his post and they are ALL him tryna to sell stuff.... can anyone vouch for him? so i should do it huh?

 

You should say you're going on a trip through his state and you can pick it up locally. If he backs down, you know it was a scam.

 

i'm with this idea if he won't meet face to face then he's a scammer because any good business person would never back down from having an encounter with a customer to prove that he is legit
