I was looking for a V6 radio and I got a personal message from a Member Calling himself Alexis:
Not sure if you got one to buy as i have one for sale at $440 shipped
Payment - Paypal ( discreet family and friends)/Cashapp
[email protected]
So I answered that yes I was interested and he also said he had all the paperwork with it and an antenna as well. Said he had stage three cancer and was having to sell of his equipment since he doubted he could finish his build. I sent him the money and days went by and no radio. When I inquired about the status he said his "shipper" got the address wrong and he would get it worked out and on the way to me. More days went by and I got an email (I had given him my email address and he says the "shipper" wants 25$ to straighten it out and have it reshipped to me and he says he doesn't have it and could I give him a $25 Ebay gift card to cover it.
Duh, I was stupid but not that stupid. I am out $440 I am quite sure. Be sure you vet your seller if buying something on the site. I should have noticed he has never made any posts. That would have run the flag up.
