Hey, Parabellum, I might have been swindled
Do you know a guy named Robert Rink? Email is rrink900@ Gmail. He set me up to buy some magazines from a guy named Jeremy Arriaga 9Jeremy Arriaga@Gmail). He insisted on Zelle, so I sent him the money December 22.
Neither answer emails since. I don't know if he/they are Forum guys. I know I'm not using Zelle again. I have not involved the bank, because I may be simply impatient, with the holidays and all, but my uh=oh hairs are starting to tingle. Thanks. John

I'm guessing you posted a WTB for mags of some type, somebody contacted you via email claiming to know somebody who had some, you hooked up with him and... Is that about right?

If you google Jeremy Arriaga, the first hit says he is a scammer.



Not minority enough!

Man, you have to read the threads I post:

You walked right into it. Your money is gone. Don't ever let someone "set you up" to buy anything. I'm not trying to make you feel worse, but, damn, come on.

You must search on names and email addresses. People are just waiting to take your money. Question everything and believe very little.

This was a conversation a few years ago when members were missing updates…I believe they were ‘classifieds’ related back then too.

Don’t waste your time with the bank.

No refund process, Zelle is use at your own risk.






What part of "...Shall not be infringed" don't you understand???

Zelle isn't your problem. Zelle did exactly what it promised to do.
