Scammer Trick (1 on My List - Shame on You), Last Day for Fitness and SEO
Published: Fri, 02/10/17
Yesterday was so relaxing. Aside from grocery shopping, I forced myself to take a day off and just watch Netflix and cook a homemade spaghetti sauce for my kids. They loved it. We're getting ready to go into car buying mode for my son, so I'm revving myself up mentally for that.
And did you know there's a cool service out there where, if you find a car you think looks good, you pay $100 and a mechanic will come right then and there on call and do a complete unbiased check of the car for you so you don't buy a lemon? I think that's SO great for those who don't know much about cars (and don't have a Daddy like mine around to double check).
So I want to make y'all aware of a scam going around. At first I hesitated to share it because then it gives others ideas, but it also means you try it, you get blacklisted from all of the sellers and don't get to buy or network with anyone, either - so you're messing it up for yourself.
This particular scam has been done to myself and several of my friends - and one of the people doing this is reading this right now and should be ashamed of himself - especially because not only has he scammed me, but he's reached out to me for free advice several times in the past.
What he (and others) do is go to your product, put it in their cart and screen shot it at checkout. But then he never finishes the transaction. So the screen shot looks like a transaction, but it wasn't finished. When he contacts you, it's a screen shot of the transaction - but you don't know (unless you ask for the transaction # and go check) that it wasn't completed.
When you call him (or others) out on it, they act confused and claim their computer was messing up.
You know, it's bad enough that you planned on stealing from me and my kids and my friends and their families - but to also steal my time and kindness in helping you with various things along the way ... I hope you never see a single penny from your frequent theft.
I'm always careful now to double check transactions but he did get me once when I was rushing and simply glanced at the checkout image.
I just wanted you sellers to be aware of this. He's banned on all of my platforms, but he's just moved on to others now. I work hard to put out good products. I don't deserve that kind of treatment.

Okay I'm about to have a late brunch and then make some chocolate covered strawberries (just sounded so good). Hope y'all have a wonderful weekend! I'm in review mode for a couple of things, so I'll let you know if I find anything good.
Tiff ;)
P.S. Prefer a weekly digest?
