ive been scammed help needed

[stresscone1]

All,
Im the guy thats looking for a 225 super mag. This scammer has contacted me twice (once by text and once by email) using the same pictures of a super mag on Google images. He will not call you to discuss only ship him money first. He always wants to know where you from so he can make himself across the country. Ive bought stuff all over the place even airplane engines, If you buying anything out of state and caint get out to see it first hand have the seller bring to a shop of your choice and only pay if the engine passes compression checks , runs and is pulled off the boat and is in the hands of the shop manager you are paying / representing the shop can even survey the engine and let you know if its in the condition as advertised as pictures always look good on the internet. Then and only then electronically pay DO NOT under any reason assume a seller will have your best interest. Only trust a reputable shop and agree on terms and prices before you have an engine brought in. Stresscone 1

Agreed. No matter how clean it looks or the owner "knows what he has", if he's not willing to run it for you its just a parts motor no exceptions!

I need to make a very important point here.

If anybody uses PayPal. never ever send money using the option to "send money to family/friends". People sometimes do this to avoid paying PayPal fees, but if you use that option, you will not have PayPal's fraud protection.

It's simple
Is this person a FRIEND no
Is this person FAMILY no

So don't send money that way
Pay the 3% fee for a piece of mind your money is protected
