He e mailed me , but no instant message. Thanks for the heads up. Probably would have paid him today and never got what I bought. Thank you so much. We need to keep this thread up top.

Damn that sucks. I was trying to get my son a 50. I was excited to finally get somewhere. I got the same message. Should have known when he didn’t say specifics.

It's difficult. IP address has pinged all over the place for each of his accounts.

If people just stop using F/F the scammer will eventually go away.

“Family /Friends” in PayPal. It’s so you can’t get your money back when scammed. Should be sent in business expenses so if they scan, you get ur money back

Is Zelle a safe way to transfer money ? Just joined it to buy from a member in good standing here on Vital. Asking for an older guy ( me ) .

Personally, I'm not a fan of Zelle because of its weird layout and you can't see your own balamce, Venmo in my opinion is the way to go.
