while beating the dead horse about paypal gift, I hope you get your money back. I got scammed in the past, is very frustrating to think these low lifes still get away with it. Why was BostonGregs account locked? Thought he was pretty stand up :/
Yeah... I don't do the PP Gift thing unless I've dealt with the person before or if I'm REALLY comfortable with it. There are some guys on here with hundreds of feedback and sometimes if they meet me at my asking price, I'll do it gift just to help them out, even if they didn't ask for it. I know that's dangerous, but I'm kind of a trusting person. I didn't know this guy from Adam's house cat so I used regular PayPal.
I hope they can still retrieve my money even if he's long gone. We pay fees to PayPal just for such things, I would think, but you never know.
I'm going to call my bank tomorrow and just let them know what's going on and that this is a fraudulent transaction. Perhaps they'll just do a chargeback and let PP eat it.
As for BostonGreg... I think it's because he chimed in without any sort of constructive criticism, put a laughing emoji and then basically told us we were fools for believing this guy was scamming us. I feel like if we were wrong about this, he would have responded by now to my complaint via PayPal.
I hate that BostonGreg got mixed up in this and hope his account will be restored. It's easy to take the high road in situations such as these. I would hate to see a longstanding member lose their place her for a momentary lapse in judgement. That happened to me at the Ruger Firearm Forums. Basically, I called someone out for saying something completely out of line, made a bad call on saying the wrong thing and they booted me permanently.
Perhaps BostonGreg can get his membership reinstated here without too much fuss.
As for this Brutigo fellow... Well, we all know where he can go. !
