HELP Everyone: Was I just scammed?
Please refer to this link in the audio classifieds:https://g35driver.com/forums/archived-sales/96906-pioneer-avic-d1.html
Screen Name: IPGTHREEFIVE
Real Name: Dustin Bradshaw
Home # 845-xxx-xxxx
Cell # 845-xxx-xxxx
Posted a Pioneer AVIC-D1 for sale and paid him 4/28. He said he was going to send this out on Friday (4/28). Called him on Saturday (4/29) and he said he didn't sent it out on Friday but he'll do it Saturday and he'll PM me the tracking number.
It's now Monday (5/1) and no replies. I've sent numerous PMs and no replies. I've left messages on his cell and home number, guess what, no replies.
Did I get scammed? Does anyone know Dustin? I think he lives in Sullivan County, New York.
Dustin, If you're reading this, please PM me that you're owning up to your sale. I don't want to waste my time trying to get my money back since you said your reputation is good. If I have to, I'll file the paper work to get my money back.
I'm not here to smear anyone.
If anyone can help me, please PM me.
Thanks

I wouldn't get too excited quite yet. I haven't dealt with Dustin, but it looks like he's had several transactions with other members of the forum. Heck, he even initiated a "Buyer Beware" post about a vendor.
We're always a little nervous about sending $$$ to someone we don't know, but this guy isn't that late....yet. Probably just had some problems over the weekend. I'm sure he'll catch up with you.
Good Luck!

Yeah, give it some time, especially when a weekend is involved, a couple of days might go by without anything like others have posted.
But seriously, the sellers gotta step it up. This kind of story is too common place. Sellers will be doing the same if they shipped the product and recieved no payment. Once the money is sent, the power is in the seller's hands. It is a business transaction... you have the money, do something. At least keep the buyers informed so they don't stress about if they've been scammed.
But definitely, don't panic. Give it a couple of more days and keep trying to get in touch with him, he'll probably get back to you soon. You have options which ever way this goes.
BTW, not cool to post someone's private numbers up. Wait until you're pretty sure you've been had... then all's fair.
