I'd like to alert fellow IIS members to what I think is a scam on this forum.
In March I answered an ad by a long term member and a member of the Victorian Astro Society. Being a teacher and with many posts I thought it was safe to buy from this person. After asking for the payment details I paid for the item at the end of March. My follow up emails remained unanswered and I found out that the item was withdrawn after I paid (beginning of April). I never the received the item or had my money returned. This is disappointing since I had many positive transactions and never any problems. If the seller changes his mind and withdraws the item it's ok but at least the seller should return the money in my opinion, otherwise it is theft and a criminal offense. Should I alert the moderators? What do others think?
