That's true.I had the same thing happen to me on rockslide, and I told them I would rather have a phone number than email. So this guy gives me his phone number and I tried to call and every time the phone would pick up it would sound like some one trying to talk in a bad service area, so he said he could only text. He sent picks of the binos I was looking to buy, after getting the pics I looked online and found the same pics from 7 years prior, that were already sold for $500 more than what he was asking.
I confronted him about it and he never replied again.
If paying for a item with PayPal always use PayPal service so you are covered if it is a scammer. Also gotta be careful with who you give your info too.
