Beware of Swapping!!!!!!!!

...AND leave your first born as deposit.

I had to go see.

• You have to provide your full name, shipping address, phone number and email address to the person before you on the list so he can send you the box
• You have to either pass the box on in person (not leave behind the fence - in person) or send the box via Express Post fully insured for 1200$

.

Yes, I didn't put that in to keep the post shorter. My point being if someone really wanted that box

As a noob on here I'm more than happy to wait until my probationary period ends before I can participate in the BST. I'm sorry to read about the OPs experience but it's a valuable reminder to us all that lowlife scammers will always try to take advantage of the trusting nature of others.

Totally agree. If someone really wanted that box they could run a scam with some social engineering and not spend any real money to have it away.

The sender could send an empty (weighted) box , who would the forum blame for the dishonesty , sender or receiver ? where would the proof come from .
At the end of the day you can put safeguards in place but there is always going to be an element of trust .

Thank you for being understanding and appreciating the bigger picture. Unfortunately over the last few weeks I have been receiving rude and insulting PM's with regards to our BST policy. Good job I have thick skin

HIs address is known. Maybe someone should pay him a visit. Not the OP. But someone large and towering. Not to hurt or harm him in any way. Just let him know he's more vulnerable than he thinks and that he ought to do the right thing and return the items to his victim.

Yeah me too. They can go elsewhere for me...

Might backfire if an even bigger bloke answers the door

So sorry to hear this @Nishy. It shouldn't happen, and I know I speak for 99.9% of people on here when I say everything you and the other mods do is thoroughly appreciated. Without you guys there is no forum. Surprised others haven't realised this. :-(

Please see my previous post!
