Can you view the message properties of the emails? You can see the headers of the sent address. Although, I'm not sure if that will work. A spoofed address might still make it look like it was sent legitimately.

The emails looked almost exactly like paypal messages, the first couple especially. I love how someone is willing to give me a 0 rating for sharing a stupid mistake they made for laughs :lol: I would give you 0 shrooms back, but looks like you have enough bad ratings already. One more can't hurt I guess :lol:

I made a mistake a few years ago sending something in the mail to someone I had actually met and hung out with multiple times, and they never sent the money. It was a festival ticket, and I actually bought it and found out I couldn't go for certain reasons so this dude I met at a show a while ago and had seen at a couple other shows and thought was a cool guy wanted to buy it. Well, I was dumb and thought that I could trust him to send the money. So so dumb of me. I learned after that though, for sure. I was out a little over 200 bucks. Douche then deleted and blocked me on fb, refused phonecalls, etc... fuck him.

I know the feel op. Sometimes experience, even if bad, is the best teacher

They could be valid emails from paypal.  Lots of people steal someone's ID and set up fake paypal accounts to run scams on people.  If you are suspicious I would report it to Paypal asap even if you aren't sure.  If they are legit they can clear it up, if they're not it may prevent them from scamming the next guy, though probably not for long.

Never sell anything to someone on craigslist who is not going prove to you they are legit, it is loaded with scammers.  I imagine almost every listing up there has multiple scammers interested.  Places like ebay are alot better because you can easily look at someone's history to see if the transaction is going to be worth the risk, but if west Africa or other scam hotspots are involved it usually isn't even worth the consideration unfortunately.  To me craigslist is only really useful for local things, and even then you've got to be careful.

There are a bunch of obvious red flags you could have seen, but be glad.  Eighty bucks and some kicks is nothing compared to what some people have lost in scams.  Now you know and will be wiser in the future.

everyone knows to only ship in the US.  this story is false claims.





it's ok to ship to foreign countries but there's rules to it

1. if the money is coming via paypal then you wait until the funds are
actually present and you can check it yourself by logging into your paypal
account, no email confirmations. once the money is there you transfer it to
your bank account and then withdraw the funds

2. if they want to pay by check or money order the only acceptable for is a
postal money order drawn on the us postal service, once it's in hand you go
to the bank and cash it


once you have cash in your hands, you ship the products anywhere they want

Yeah it is sad how putting your trust in others is a stupid thing to do in today's world. I was talking to a friend about that earlier actually. What fest was it for? Sorry to hear that, that's lame he started ignoring you basically. I like to believe in karma so I assume people who do selfish stuff like that will get what they deserve. I definitely learned the same lesson I am sure you did, which is to be more skeptical of people.

It was for All Good, which I've been to twice.. would have been the third time. Oh well, I like smaller fests anyways. All Good was fun though.

But yeah I believe karma probably got him, or will, for sure. I can't see how it didn't, considering this guy takes psychedelics. I like to think that the topic of him ripping me off came up during one of his hard trips and really fucked with him. Perhaps he does something good for others now... doubt it though.

Dickheads get what's coming for them

I definitely would love to go to all good but small fests are where it is at for sure. Yeah I have never understood how people can use psychedelics and still do incredibly selfish stuff. I guess it really depends on the person. I would like to think people in that situation would think about what they have done and try to make up for it but who knows.
