being scammed or watched or what???

I posted a thread yesterday about my source e-mailing me with info that his runner was caught and he could not fill my last order until things "calmed down" on his end.
Today I receive another e-mail from source with a new price list that is 50% below normal pricing. He says he can sell me gear at these prices to make up for my loss.
WTF!
Anyone ever hear of anything like this before?
Could I be targeted for set up? Or am I just paranoid? Or big time scam?

Hmmm... Have you already paid for the order that he claims to be unable to ship? Does he plan on sending that order when things "cool down"?

**onthesly** · 06-05-2003, 07:20 PM

I did pay for the order.
He is vague about sending order. I e-mailed him today with that very question. No answer yet. He claims to have lost over 15,000.00 and is in need of some more working capitol.

Sounds too good to be true ...

So he can't (or won't) ship your current order. Yet he is already offering you more to purchase? That makes no sense to me. Did you do a source check with any mods before you placed an order?

Sounds like he is turning scammer. Tell him you want your money back but don't give him any more cash whatever you do. My guess is you are going to have to eat what you already sent him.

i agree with rickson. it doesnt sound too good whatever's going on. DONT send any more money for any reason.

In a way it is kind of a weird feeling if done by mail. Aticipation, nervousness, excitement. When that big order comes through finally it is kinda like Christmas. Cant wait to open it. The butterflies. Nice.
Oh sorry you lost your order. That kinda sucks though.
