Terrywayne1952@outlook.com- Scammer
Posted: Tue May 21, 2024 2:35 am
Learned my lesson, be aware
I got scammed for the first time in 50 years. Reading the suggestions, I learned the right way to do it. This guy contacted me regarding a QTH WTD ad and I did not pick up on the fact that it was a direct email. He even had a picture of the item, a rare Lafayette VFO.
Excited about the purchase I sent him $100 F&F Paypal. Oddly to an email different than his. Mistakes 2 and 3.
Having accepted that I was scammed, I decided to act normal and ask about the status of the item. The punch line is he then told me that he had the tracking number but I had to pay him an additional $100 F&F to get it.
See correspondence below. Read from bottom up

So let me get this straight.
I paid you $100 for the VFO and shipping.
Now you want me to pay another $100 for the tracking number?
Since there is a tracking number I assume you have shipped it. Correct?
