I got scammed
So we really need a professional video camera to make good videos so I thought i would go buy a good used camera online. I found exactly what i was looking for and it was too good a deal to pass up, the only red flags were that the seller was in Indonesia, and he didn’t accept Paypal.
Maybe i was just too stressed or i am just that gullible or whatever.. anyway somehow I wired the money over to his bank account fully expecting a parcel from FEDEX to arrive in a week with all my hopes and dreams inside. Of course, that never happened.
So the lessons here are:
1)YES IT IS THAT EASY TO GET SCAMMED!
2)If it looks too good to be true, it probably is just that.
3)Never ever pay by bank transfer or any other silly way where its easy for the seller to dissappear with your money.
asdf i cant believe i did something like that everything seems to be going wrong these days T_T
4) Indonasians are clever!
Not when they get caught…

good luck to u
post the seller’s yahoo ID
theres no point posting the ID since they just close and create new ID all the time. What they do is make a few IDs and give positive feedback to each other so it looks legit. If its an indonesian auction that does not accept paypal, its probably a scam. This is the auction i was scammed by http://sg.auctions.yahoo.com/sg/i::263715568
