Well I got scammed then an impersonator by the name of Dario Jim which was a scammer who sent me the email [email protected] please be aware this is a scam artist luckily it was only $30 but still pissed to loose money he may try to reach out to more collectors claiming to have parts.

Is this the Dario Jim dude? I was scammed out of $160 by him.

I dodged a bullet myself. I was all set to deal with that Davis Lee guy; you will never believe the lines he/she used on me. Tried to get me to use a couple of money transfer companies, but I opted for PayPal. They asked me to use "Friends and Family" which on PayPal, means no buyers protection. I am pretty sure Dario Jim messaged me to connect with Davis Lee. In the end, I said no.

Davis Lee, sent a QR showing JAMES PORATH: VENMO account. Plus this from the email.

Let me know as soon as you're done with the payment

Send a pic or screenshot of your Payment so I can confirmation.

Would love to share more from my Outlook messages, but it is too much.

That is very messed up. Unless I have no clue how internet banking works ( I only use facebook marketplace, vacuumland , trademe and youtube on my computer).

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm sure the feeling of being deceived is worse than the loss of money and disappointment of not receiving the part, which are bad enough in themselves.

Thank you for informing us. I hope no one else is targeted, and that it won't happen to you again by someone else.

Alan, Can you work with vacfan6384 to change the title of the thread? It seems disrespectful to papasvacs memory to leave the present one in place.

 

[centralsweeper63]

I agree that the title of the thread should be changed. It wasn't vacfan6384's fault though, at least i think, becausehe/she didn't know.
