Fraud Alert

I just got ripped off from a Posting here in Classifieds about a tube tester a guy supposedly had for sale for $250 + shipping ($283 for me) in late May. He advertised it under the name of Brian Hunter (email brianhunter231@gmail.com). When he said it was still available I was told to send the check made out to his good friend Justin Depolis in Corona, CA. I sent a USPS MO to him and never received a thing. I kept all the correspondence and my USPS MO receipt. Brian Hunter assured me the tube tester was on the way and even sent UPS updatings for an item that was never sent. The whole thing was a scam to begin with. I finally went to the internet for a search for Justin Depolis (he's licensed) and found this guy is a total fraud crook who's been operating since back in 2004. Everything people here on this site are saying about how to conduct business is exactly right on and dumb me unknowlingly broke all the rules of common internet sense. Don't get stung like I did. I've already written off the loss but I'll be smarter in the future. ...........Mike, WA5MOE.
