So someone posted on a FB 914 group nice F & R bumpers for very good deal in Birmingham. Been going around with this guy since last night….first asked for Venmo, then pp (so of course I agree ) but then F&F. …..NO WAY.
So I have friend in the area so I say deliver and I’ll add $ for your trouble and gas. Finally says ok to PP…..but gives me a different account number. I plug in but PP will not alllow payment backed by AX card. So I call and ask why. Their words …because high probability of fraud. I offered cash at pick up……and he still hesitates. Seeing other posts so be careful. Attached thumbnail(s) |

You know the old “ too good to be true”…..deal!
And they are very persistent……..don’t buckle when confronted with questions that .accuse them of BS. Bumpers now down ….but a set of mirrors are up. The interesting thing is that PayPal would have sent money from my bank or balance…….bur it would not allow use of AX card. |

AX would have fraud protection, which could hold PP for any loss, unlike a direct funds transfer. PP obviously knew of fraud potential. |
