If you lost time, money or even a bit of your sanity and your original intent was to warn the community could you please take a few minutes to explain what happened to the Pinside community? Many of us don't have Facebook and (I'm guessing) even those with Facebook have no simple way to access whatever discussion you refer to.
This is a community where we help each other and information is help and often key to decisions people make. Please take a few minutes of your time to make sure that someone else does not get scammed or have their time wasted with this person. Thank you in advance.
