So, a person contacted me off a FB group saying they had one they would sell me. They showed me pics with a beautiful box, with all the paints. Asking price: $180. A huge 🚩 went up. Or, could this be my lucky day? When I asked preferred payment method, he said cashapp or Zelle. Another 🚩. When I told him neither provides buyer protection, how about PayPal goods and services? His reply was, he changed addresses, and is unable to use PayPal at the moment. A final 🚩. Oh well, the search continues.

Good on you Wolfman, I hate how there are people out there like this and you've just got to hope that they get a good dose of bad karma for trying things like this.

Too many lowlifes out there. As John Lennon once sang, " Instant Karma's gonna get you, gonna knock you right on the head." Can only hope and pray these people get a good dose of it someday.

That FB group is full of scammers.    If they cant show you a pic with a sign showing the current date its always a scam.
Morning, noon, or night, Anytime . . . . the count may strike. If you're caught you have to linger, Cause Dracula may bite your finger!

Was this fellow a good regular contributor to the Facebook group?

It was a scammer.     Never posted before and had just created their profile etc...   Its pretty easy to spot them.
