Buyers Beware Avoid Shawser61 Possibly Fraud


Ok! I bought a Denon DCD-S1 player from Shawser61 on Dec 20th. He hasn't shipped the player and no tracking uploaded by Dec 31st. He also stops responding to queries on Audiogon.

It's possible this seller is fraudulent in nature and a scam / con artist. I have contacted PayPal about this seller also.

Whomever thinking of dealing with him, exercise extreme caution.

Audiogon now blocks the seller information and you don't know where they live, their contact number and their direct email address. Pay Now button will take to PayPal website direct and all the seller information is hidden from buyer.

Hello! Sorry my English, I write mostly using a google translator. I bought this guy's amp, paid on December 17 and December 18, received his trucking number. Here it is: EC771201795US. This Item did not go outside of Miami, and that it happened next is not known. It seems you are right. We have a high probability of dealing with a fraud. For me, the added complexity is that I live outside the U.S. and do not have any ability to influence the seller. I only hope for a return of their money from Paypal. May be somebody will tell me, what can I do more?
Hello Wr. Your English is very OK and I understands you perfectly fine.

But I wonder your problem may be a little different than mine.

What did you buy and how much did you pay him if you don't mind answering.

It seems the seller ships your item the next day after you paid him. The tracking number indicates the item ships from Florida where he mail the item to you.

It's a little strange because the item I bought indicates the item is located in Indiana State which is quite far from Florida.

Since he shipped the item you bought, you just need to wait for the item to arrive in good condition as he described.

It takes time for International Packages to arrive so you need to wait a bit longer. I think it takes like 2-3 weeks and longer due to the Christmas and Holidays closing time and customs clearance time.

If he didn't send you what you bought, your best course of action is to contact PayPal and the credit card company.

You can also contact FBI, Interpol, CIA and file compliant on their website even though it may not recover the funds for you if you don't get what you paid for. Also, these law agencies takes very long time to look into the compliant and there is no guarantee anything will be done since money matters are not their top priority as far as I understands.
Hello! I think it's still fraud, because the information in the Paypal transaction has another tracking number (EC791208510US)!
Unfortunately, I noticed it only today, when I launched on Paypal "Non-receipt dispute".
However, this is not important, because changes nothing, but just I'm more confident that it fraud.
I paid for the amp Mcintosh MC150 1100$. By reason of seller ships only to the United States, shiping must be made to the warehouse of my international shipper ("Shipito" in Hawthorne, CA).
Thanks for your support, James_moe! I have previously made ​​a purchase at Audiogone and I considered it as safe market. Alas.
Hi Wr.

I am sorry to hear you are in the same situation as me. I hope you all the best to recover your funds.

PayPal takes a long time to recover funds and sometimes, it's impossible for them to get the funds recovered from the seller.

I hope you have paid with your credit card so you can get fraud protection such as this case.

Hope all the best for you! If you do get your item from the seller, please update here.

I have purchased many times from Agon and all went smoothly before.

Audiogon has changed a lot in the past year and I don't think it's getting better for the change.

Is your name Alas? You can just call me James. :)

Cheers!

James
