[Wanted] Scam story from /r/VinylCollectors. Be careful.

Some of you may remember this post by user u/arleybob, who has just deleted his account. I stupidly sent him a MoneyGram for a few records, and upon receiving it, he said that the records had been sent. Now I'm out $60 and don't have the vinyl I was looking forward too.

  1. Never send money to someone on a service that doesn't have fraud prevention.

  2. Always get a tracking number.

  3. Learn from my dumb mistake.

It's a shame that there are people out there who actively make the world a worse place.

Be careful, everyone.

EDIT: Please refer to the FAQ for how to make safe purchases!
