Just curious, how many people if any have paid for this head and are waiting for it to ship? I feel it may be a potential scam.

Not sure about the banjo head but it looks like the mustache under the nose is gone. You still in the band?

He looks legit as far as I can tell. IP is from NY.

He has 2 classified ads and the only possible red flag in them is the no return phrase.

If you are in doubt as to his ads being spam, then definitely don't do business with him. He is new and there is little information about him.

Ad says he's in Oregon. He's not responding to me anymore and I think it's a scam account

You're saying you paid for the head and he's gone silent? Not good. I nearly bombard my buyers with email. Seeing as this is a new account (created Sunday) that immediately posted items for sale and doesn't otherwise participate on the Hangout, that would be a cause for tremendous caution.

Did you use a credit card? Venmo?

If credit card, you can ask your card issuer to reverse the charge -- once you're certain you've been scammed. Venmo I have no idea.

Good luck.

It was Venmo with purchase protection so I should be ok. Just wondering how many people have paid this guy for something they're never getting,

If he's still responding to you, is he saying the item(s) are in the mail or giving you excuses for not getting them? I dislike locking an account until the member has done something wrong.

I need more information before I lock his account.

Isn't it enough that two different members were sold the same item?

The guy is clearly just leaving the ad up hoping to get as many people as possible to send him 50 bucks before he gets outed. I'm already disputing the Venmo charge. I'm positive this is a scam
