I was scammed by Anna Stilton selling a Red Touch 5.0 via paypal. She/He sent an invoice via paypal last week, along with photos and a very knowledgable conversation about the Red Touch making it very believable. We exchanged e-mails via this e-mail address: anna.stiltson@gmail.com however the paypal address came from another e-mail which if you google goes to a linkedin account of a guy in Stockton, CA who is a masonry fabricator.
Paid last week via paypal
Anna replied back that she received payment and would be sending out the next day after the screen was tested and working properly.
The next day I get a reply that its working fine and will be shipped out first thing in the morning.
The next day I get an e-mail that FedEx never arrived and that she would personally drive to the fedex location at the airport on Monday and send it out as I needed it for an upcoming project.
I never received such e-mail yesterday (since she claims to be located in Australia) they're 17hours ahead of CA/Pacific Standard.
Searched reduser for the name Anna Stiltson and the first post that comes up is a Scam Alert from another user David.
I knew I'd been Had...
I have initiated a paypal claim but just a hard lesson learned that one should ALWAYS use the search feature on this site prior to doing business with anyone not locally. Turns out at lease one other user on this forum has been scammed by the same person for the same item. Thank god paypal has a guarantee on stuff like this.
-Buyer Beware
