The New “What did you do with your Z today” (with off topic replies) XXXVI

I followed up with:

"There are three things potentially going against me by paying up front.
#1- you don't send the seats (I have no protection)
#2- you send me trashed seats (I have no protection)
#3- you told me that Paypal permanently closed your account. That doesn't give me much confidence that #'s 1 and 2 couldn't happen."

"I've already shown that I'm willing to pay, you had my payment. Long time forum members can vouch for me and I'm having you ship them to a legitimate business. You can google and yelp the business."

I was going to have him ship them to the shop that built my car.

Guess what kind of a reply I received. NONE. He never returned my texts. Scammer.
