Warning to all sellers- Watch out for email scammers/ hacked PP

I disappeared for the last month and I apologize for any inconvenience. For anyone needing to get ahold of me, please PM me. I had to delete almost all 28 PM's I had because it refused to let me read any until I did so. My Monster Forsale thread is CLOSED and a current one will be opened.

To the point of this thread...

Watch out for email scammers and people using hacked Pay Pal accounts.
I was scammed twice out of $55 and 106 because of the method I used for selling items. Posting a general email without getting a forum account name is BAD. I learned the hard way.
It went like this:
Person contacted me about several parts forsale via email.
I responded and let them pay with Pay Pal.
Days later I get a hold on the account and a email from PP saying the account was hacked during this time. Charges were then reversed.
Parts were in the mail by then, crap.
I paid out of pocket to reimburse the owners of these parts.

For my next thread I will make people PM me their email address to verify they are a member here and who they are on the forum.

This honestly pissed me off enough to just say screw it and walk away for a little bit. Some times its good for a break.

Last- has anyone heard from Puffy? I never got my DEFI gauge .

It will be a few days until I can inventory all the parts.
I moved over the last month and I now have every part listed in my garage. No more driving to a friends shop to get parts and check things for people .

You can, but I may not have all the answers.
