I too got scammed by a "member" a few years ago. I don't know if this person is on here anymore or not, as I gave up and moved on with my life, but this person was offering a very nice Filter Queen at a reasonable price. I had purchased another vacuum from them in the past, and while it took a bit to get it, I did receive it, so I felt like I could trust them to purchase another machine from them. That was my first mistake. I can't remember if I went through PayPal or not, but even if I did, they were in their infancy and didn't really protect buyers like they do now. So needless to say, I lost my money, didn't get my FQ, and got my blood pressure up dealing with it. The bright spot in this, I didn't lose quite as much as Bill did on his purchase! Maybe one of these days I'll run across another FQ, but until then.......
