How did Cointaker know it was bogus? What did he say when you asked for a refund?

Quoted from CyberNinja24:This scammer claimed to have the one from Bloomington that was delivered today. Once I asked him for information specific to the box and the shipping information that you’d only know by standing by the machine, he went dark.
This was from Melissa’s guidance to let me know that there was no way a TBL was in Florida. He also claimed that he just spoke with Melissa and she said the warranty would transfer over. But, when I called Melissa, she was not speaking with this rat and that information was also incorrect.
Wow! I'm sorry man, that's evil! I think he would have anyone on the hook, way to do your due diligence. He probably would have got the whole $15k from me.
Quoted from gweempose:Using friends and family is not "ripping off" PayPal. It's a legitimate option that they offer for sending funds. They just don't provide any sort of protection if you choose to send money this way, which is precisely why it is called "friends and family". You're only supposed to use it to send money to someone that you absolutely trust.
Well, I believe the intention of friends and family is to give money to people you know for non-business transactions. They wave the transaction fees as a courtesy and probably to expand their customer base. If you are buying something from someone, especially from someone you don't know, it is a business transaction and should be subject to fees. It costs them money to process your transaction. If you are deceptively using their service in a way to avoid fees you are ripping them off. It's essentially theft of services. I actually really dislike using friends and family for purchases because if enough people abuse it they will take it away.
Quoted from TheLaw:Poooor Paypal.
They do provide an infrastructure for transfers of money and have employees they need to pay.
Quoted from CaptainNeo:well then, how did they function for years when they didn't charge anything?
I'm sure it was a type of loss leader to gain market share. Like how hulu was completely free 10 years ago and they changed over to a subscription based system later. Neither was intended to be free forever, they were playing the long game and bleeding money the whole time.
Quoted from vdojaq:YES, 100% Please, out this S.O.B.!!!
Yeah, I don't get why the OP hasn't. If this is really a criminal act then there is no shame in sharing his name, in fact, it's your duty.
