When buying through Agon a buyer should always-

Tls49,

Ya, all that and still some sucker bought the thing and sent the scammer over $8,000 dollars cash.

Now the buyer is emailing the true Agon member through the Agon message system demanding his money back.

Tls49,

Ships from - Germany (Going to Seller Information/Classic Profile/Discussion Posts, shows Country as USA)

That's easy..... Ya, I moved to Germany a year ago and just never got around to updating my profile and forgot all about it. I need to get that done. Thanks for reminding me.

Remember the bogus Emm Labs XDS1 unit is 220-240V. What's the voltage in Germany?

All I can say is Wow!. Damn shame..

There's a guy on ebay that I've reported 7 times in the past few months selling Wilson Sophia's for 2500.00 He hijacks other sellers accounts with lots of feedback. He also puts his email in the heading which is against ebay rules. He's trying to get presonal info and account info. Each time I report the problem I suggest that ebay put in his heading that it is a fraud in big letters to warn others, but they simply remove the add. I've even seen bids made. Be careful, and yes, use paypal tied to a credit card.

I guess it depends on the item. For big dollar items one should contact the seller. There have been times I've lost out on some deals because I contacted the seller first with various questions and then hours later I found the item was already bought.

I wonder if this will be brought up during the next A'gon COO Q&A session. Also I thought A'gon had provision against this. If you log on from multiple locations your ID gets locked. This has happened when I've gone on vacation. I normally log in from work but when I was away and logged into A'gon I got a message stating my account was locked and I had to go to my e-mail to unlock the ID.

I guess whomever did this really knew how to get around the system. Damn that really sucks.
