Here’s another one, I got scammed by them too. I wish I had seen this thread first. There are two new listings by new members with @protonmail addresses.

On February 4th, 2024 I got an email from this forum from a member named "Gurneybob."
I was looking for a head cabinet for Heartbreaker amp.
Gurneybob said that a friend of his, Gregor Eichholz had one for sale.
I reached out the Gregor. He sent me pictures, we sent several emails back and forth.
We agreed on $350 for the head cab and shipping.
I sent the money through PayPal F&F. The PayPal address is: [email protected]
Gregor said that he shipped it on February 12, but then stopped communicating.

I have sent several emails requesting a tracking number. At first, I got answers like, "It shipped yesterday," but then all replies stopped when I again asked for a tracking number.

It's not much money, but I could really use that headshell.

I have bought and sold hundreds of amps and guitars over the last 20 years. Guess it is about time I fell for a scam.......
Just letting other members know.

Hopefully I'm wrong. Hopefully Gregor is just not very good at communicating. Hopefully it was shipped Parcel Select or some other slow method.....

With Pay Pal they will reimburse you, for scams with proof of no product. Emails and correspondence, just send to them and they will stop payment. Not sure what Friends & Family will do for you. Maybe try the Local Police to stop this kind of behavior.

If you use Friends and Family, there is no recourse. It is not recommended when purchasing anything. But if you use Goods and Services, you can dispute and the business will have to prove they sent it, etc.
