Scam? Is it safe?
Hi guys, about to make my first purchase from RJ and looking at spending 4k. First the seller accepts PayPal, I do have a cell phone number that I called and got his actual voice voicemail, and area code
Matchs his location. I can not inspect the item since it's 2,000 miles away, however he's agreed to ship. How do I know if I paypal him that he will actually ship the motor? What are my options for getting my money back if he doesn't? I plan to use my Amex and PayPal. The buyer seems legit, but a few things Don't rub me right. First he offered to take money off right away, he also offered to pay shipping even though he had no idea where I live. While I was texting him I called his number, got his voice mail. He told me his wife was asleep next to him so he couldn't talk. ( it's was 7:45pm) But would be free to talk on the morning. Also, asked where he races, name and car number. Said all over California, Nevada, Arizona. Numbers 11 and 7, and he's had different drivers. ( didn't give me an name.). Guy says he got out or racing so needs to sell motor asap. Deal almost seems to good to be true. When I asked his name later he gave me Mitch gragson. ( Mitch does match name on voice mail). I don't know how to check to see how long he's been on racing junk? His seller name is str8hate . Any Advice? It's my first motor and my first time dealing with racing junk. Hate to get screwed over. Thanks guys.
