Well, sort of. Ordered something and when it came it absolutely was not what I ordered. Places refused to give 100% refund or send label to return crap item. Both told me to pay $20 to return it to China, to get a PARTIAL refund. I resorted to letting the credit card company know, and eventually they reversed the charges. I am in the process of that right now, having gotten ripped off on a Mother's Day present.
But other than that, nope, no completely lost $$ so far....
Bummer you got caught. Sucks about the $500 thing and the fact the bank didn't let you know he'd been flagged multiple times.
No, he was't flagged multiple times - I'm hoping he WILL, though. I dont think it'll make a difference. Scammers always find a way.
I'm more upset about being scammed than the money itself really - it upsets me that people can be such assholes, and that we fell for it!
Glad you had some kind of resolution and you got a present for your Mum in the end anyway, right? That's good news xx
Yup, found one at the estate sale on Saturday, so that part ended well.
