Scam Alert - username gsk8273
To make things straight, yes I understand this is my fault, and I would like to alert this group as I have seen him posting.
I posted searching for an MSE muffler for my new 340i. Somebody messaged me their cell and had me wire over funds and said he would ship it. I asked to use paypal, they said they only have zelle, and I ended up sending money over. Please beware of this account. |

Sorry, but thanks for sharing. Hopefully will give some other folks a heads up to be on the lookout.

That and I was really busy he said he didn't have PayPal. I figured my bank was already associated with zelle and thought it would be insured since it was through my bank (similar to a debit card purchase I thought)

When someone says they don't have PayPal that should set off multiple alarms. Anyone who's legitimate has PayPal. Anyone who claims to not have PayPal isn't legitimate.

This doesn't mean there is zero fraud using PayPal. But it's better than sending a stranger cash. OP realizes it was a mistake and hopefully some others learn from his error. |
