Hulk 439 Scammed me contacted me saying he had a release trigger I was looking for for sale I Zelle him the funds on Friday won’t answer his phone Caveat Emptor Billy
Nothing wrong with using Zelle I had asked him for another picture he took one instantly of the bottom he has the trigger! It was my suggestion that we use Zelle. He just sent me a text saying he would mail it by Friday so I guess it’s wait and see if he’s credible.Until then I’ll leave this thread open I hope he is! Billy
Sometimes people have unexpected circumstances come up and they can’t respond as quickly as people want. And sometimes people hit the panic button WAY TOO QUICKLY Flyersarebest Moderator
Zelle money transfers happen instantly so the recipient can claim the funds immediately. This is great for transferring funds to family and trusted individuals. Not so good for transferring money to unknown, remote persons. Zelle has no process for recovering funds if the deal goes south after the funds have been claimed by the recipient. This is why scammers often insist on Zelle. They claim the funds immediately, and by the time the sender figures out it's a scam, there is no recourse.
In my opinion one should only use Zelle for family and friends. Not to purchase anything from an unknown individual. Like I said live and learn And no it’s not my money because I wouldn’t let it happen in the first place
You’ve said there was nothing wrong with Zelle, but it’s a known fact that’s how a lot of scammers want paid, and here you are saying you were scammed. Might want to think about that for a second…
All of you really need to carefully read the thread!! I don’t need any he said she said You have to trust some of the people sometime not all the people all the time This is the first time in over 30 years of buying and selling this is a first for me anybody I have ever bought and sold knows how honest I am enough said I’ll wait and see!!
Ok I read the thread carefully. You said that you got scammed. We didn’t And no you don’t have to trust anyone. Especially someone you don’t know. Trust is earned, it isn’t free
Please enlighten me how you would have handled the purchase? Im all ears I posted that thread so anybody in the future would be aware instead people have chosen to attack me and make it my fault entirely! What was I supposed to do have him investigated by the FBI etc. I’ll continue to trust people I’m not going to let this one maybe bad buy deter my faith in Trapshooters !
