    Quoted from mrm_4:

    1 Aeropost Way, SCL-6141
    Miami, FL 33206-3206
    United States
    Anyone ever ship to this address? Pinsider just tried to buy from me. Refused to use friends and family said can only send a services payment. Gave this address which pulls a bunch of scams and gave a phone number linked to businesses with the same address but different P.O. Box number.
    I just refunded the money. Too many flags.

    interesting. that's a freight forward company. they ship overseas.

    might have been OK, might not have been. depends on the verified address done thru paypal.

    refund was smart, for the safety. but, who knows?

    i work at a shop, where an "overseas" buyer purchased a game. we palletized it, and DHL literally came and picked it up.

    i wasn't there when the machine was picked up, so i can't say white van or legit DHL truck.

    2 days later, the buyer claims no one picked up the game. DHL contacted, they claim they did not pickup the machine on the date given.

    well, the owner of our shop is very good at this. he contacts DHL, talks to management, drops certain lingo, and they magically "locate the game" later that day.

    it was a bad attempt with at least 2 people that work at DHL, to attempt to steal a $5500 machine.

    i take pics of license plates if there's no cash or check in my hands when a machine leaves.

    trust...nobody. i have 40+ fake checks on my wall, if you don't believe me (craigslist is a scammers playground). wasting their time is not a job. it's an adventure.

    i've even received texts, and reverse search to find the pics come from pinside...it's too easy to hide behind a keyboard.
