So I've been coming to this site for a while now, just to read the stories. I haven't joined before because I don't have any good stories at the moment as I am recovering from surgery and am on hiatus from bad customers.
But I did have an experience that I wanted to share; my dad just recently passed away, and I've been trying to sell his iPhone to help pay my mom's phone bill. So I posted it on a couple of sites, and I got this text message from someone, it was a weird area code, and this person wanted to give me more than I was asking for the iPhone, if I would send it to Nigeria. All I had to do was give this person my PayPal info.
At the time, I didn't realize what was happening, and gave the person my email address, and I got an email from "PayPal" saying that I had to send the phone first in order to receive a tracking number. That's when I knew not to send it, and reported it to PayPal.
It's like, even when I'm stuck at home, I still have to deal with jerks and idiots and scammers.
