That sucks! It happens to the best of us for sure. When we are looking for something like that, it’s sometimes hard to not get into a pickle. I think I would rather drive 6 hours to physically get the stuff myself instead of having someone ship it. Hell I would drive longer depending on the item, the gas would be worth it!
I’ve tried to sell stuff on sites and when it came to exchanging the goods the people ask where I would like to do it. I always tell them the local police station so that everyone involved is protected, I’m not going to rip you off in front of the cops and you won’t rip me off there either. Sadly not a single person has taken me up on that which I find incredibly strange lol. Aren’t we supposed to want these things to be legit?
Thankfully it was less than 500 for you, still painful to part with for stuff like that but not awful. Hopefully they will give him some shit at his bank for being a dick and think twice about him if he asks to do something like a new loan or something.
My sister is marrying a con artist and it’s painful to watch but no one seems to tell her the truth. She won’t listen to her gut so it’s just going along until it hits the wreck stage!
Well, the bank person said that 'well, to be honest, it's he said she said' - ugh. I do hope that little mark on his file DOES give him at least a little bit of grief. Anyway, you're right, it's not much money in grand scheme.
That's crazy about your sister!!!! I guess that all you guys can do is be supportive, as she'll need you when the chips fall where they will.
