That sucks man. Sorry to hear that and hopefully you get your money back. I almost got suckered recently when I put a WTB add for some wheels on the Pelican classifieds. I got an email from some guy named jim ramirez (pelican name j1mz) who sent my a picture of just the wheels I wanted at a decent price. So I started emailing him with questions. While he sounded pretty knowledgeable about the wheels, I got a little hint of a scam when he said he only took Money gram payment since his Paypal was 'dormant'. Still I thought, how many people know about Lindsey Fuchs and have pictures and know the price range etc. So finally I was ready to pull the trigger and talk payment so I asked for his number to call and talk. His response of 'I'm hearing impaired' saved my but, because until then he had me. Anyway, I'm glad I kept asking questions and didn't rely on emails. That's my advice even if you are buying small things.
