WTF. Sorry that happened, Lenie. That's a big part of why we have minimum post counts before a member can start a thread in the classifieds. Obviously that didn't help in this case though.
Thanks guys for the concern, truth is if I didn't have the money, I wouldn't have spent it, I even told my wife before I sent the $, sounds suspicious. The individual sounds like a pretty young kid (guessing early 20's). He lost, hopefully one day he'll find his way and realize there are people out there that have very tight budgets and he's taken a significant toll on there daily lives. It will not be the last time I put my trust in someone
Thanks again but everything is ok
Not that you did anything wrong, we could all benefit from asking a local member to check out an item for sale if we think its too good to be true. I HATE SCUMBAGS that pull this crap.
Exactly -- get someone in the area to check stuff out. I just did this for SpeedTech.... on an item listed on Craigslist.... it worked out just fine. But buying ANYTHING on line anymore is a crap shoot... unless it's from someone you know. The more times you try your luck the odds are you're going to get hammered on a deal.
Sorry to hear this Lenie! That kind of stuff makes me so angry I understand the meaning of someone going "Postal".... the exception being - instead of randomly shooting people -- I want to hunt down the scumbags and string 'em up by their nads! Then torture them and then finally kill them slowly... the more agony the better! Think about the scene where they strap James Bond into the chair with no bottom and the guy swings a "monkey fist" (type of knot) on the end of a rope.... It makes my stomach turn watching that scene... but that's what should happen to these jerks. Jail is too good or them.

Greg, you crack the hell out of me and made my day! Great minds think alike, just didn't want to share what actually goes thru my deranged thought process Now back out to the garage to install sound deadener.
