Damn I got done $550
kiss goodbye getting a scope now
lucky I have paid with paypal
I have just opened a dispute with paypal now
lets see what happens.......
Definitely try and use paypal to get your money bank.
And if anyone paid by bank deposit, contact your bank immediately (first thing in the morning) to get them to put a stop to the transfer.
So we cant know for sure if any of these items for sale are fair dinkum !!
It's mostly new members that you have to be concerned about and the vast majority of those are honest. You can look back through posts made by established members to get an idea of legitimacy. Just use common sense - in this case it was the members first post and he offered the item at a price that was too cheap - such items should be considered pick up only to be safe.

No Tony, it was only his 1st post in his new name.
He has been a member in here for 2 years, but was banned for ripping people off and fraud. The Police have been notified.
Today he re-registered under another user name, so he is actually an old member, not a new one.
Common Sense still prevails.......
A few quick PM's to a moderator to check the validity of a "new" poster ( especially after only one - or a few- post(s) ) might be the way to go.....
The Moderator might have ( as in this case) some useful information.......
I hope Moderators will agree with this, even though it might put some extra PM's in their inbox

I'm surprised that a new member can sell at all.
3 months membership and minimum 20 posts or something is the norm elsewhere.
But I think this point has been covered tons of times already.
I thought something was amiss when I mentioned that I was close enough to come and see it and got no response even though i could see he was still online and active.
