SOLD

Be very careful dealing with this seller! Back on August 10th I sent member Carrbassin84 a PM asking if he still had his Helix for sale. In the actual sale post I also put “PM sent”. This Helix was supposed to be a birthday present for myself. The next morning, August 11th, I received a PM from the seller in this ad, Chwaya, that he had a friend selling a Helix 9 and provided me an email address of someone named Dana at dansers23@gmail.com. I emailed “Dana” and he responded by saying he still had it and provided pics. We agreed upon a price of 1k shipped and he requested I pay via CashApp. I sent the 1k and he confirmed he received it saying he would ship it out and send me a tracking number. So a couple days go by and I hadn’t heard anything so I email him asking when the item was being shipped. He responded by telling me that it would ship out Friday or Saturday and that I don’t need to worry. I told him that’s not how I do business but told him to ship it asap. Saturday comes and still no tracking number so I send him an email asking for it. He responds by telling me he’s shipping it that day (Saturday). Sunday comes and still no tracking number so I start emailing him and he doesn’t respond. He still is not responding to my emails. So I send Chwaya a PM asking him to verify that his friend Dana is a legit dude and he says that he is and that he suddenly contracted the coronavirus and is in the hospital. I find it weird that Dana emailed me on Saturday saying that it was shipping that day but now he suddenly has coronavirus and in the hospital. I PM Chwaya calling him out telling him I think he’s actually Dana and that I had better receive my Helix or 1k back. He reads my PM and to this date has not responded. I did some checking on Chwaya and see that he registered here on Westernbass the same day he PM’d to contact this Dana dude about the Helix. As a police officer for over 30 years and a long time member of this forum and several others I am pissed off. I just wanted to share with you my story in hopes that no one else gets taken advantage of. Tim

Your fault for sending someone money through cashapp... someone did the exact same thing to me just 2 days ago... but i know better than to send $ anyway other than PayPal. Be smart and you won't get ripped off. Why would you send $ through something with no buyer protection

[YELOSUB]

Of course it’s my fault...When does anyone put the blame on the actual scammer...I was just giving a heads up. Have a nice day

[TauJLur]

Thanks for the heads up. Much appreciation.

[Ray Vanacore]

Thanks for the heads up as I was going to contact him, about the motor. but after reading your letter, maybe I should contact his local police Department instead .I hate thieves scammers.

So what is it-a 225 or a 250? I would be a little leery of the "Mis-post" to begin with.
