Buyers Beware Avoid Shawser61 Possibly Fraud

Ok! I bought a Denon DCD-S1 player from Shawser61 on Dec 20th. He hasn't shipped the player and no tracking uploaded by Dec 31st. He also stops responding to queries on Audiogon.

It's possible this seller is fraudulent in nature and a scam / con artist. I have contacted PayPal about this seller also.

Whomever thinking of dealing with him, exercise extreme caution.

Audiogon now blocks the seller information and you don't know where they live, their contact number and their direct email address. Pay Now button will take to PayPal website direct and all the seller information is hidden from buyer.

Showser61 joined 11/15/12 and has one transaction with no-noise, who joined 11/14/12. Both left positive feedback to each other 12/12/12 at 1202. Coincidence? looks like a setup to me. TG

Nothing wrong with posting disputes if you feel the seller isn't taking care of business. Nobody wants to come to the forums with issues unless there is a good reason to do so. I just went through this for the first time but the thread was closed. The seller even offered a full refund in the thread but didn't have the money once confronted off the thread. A lot of con men out there!

Thanks for the heads up!

A heads up should be posted anywhere it can be seen. Part of a sellers responsibility is to keep the buyer informed throughout the transaction. Maybe this was the only way he could have afforded the vacation in the first place. I think I'd get my money back regardless of the excuse(s). Best of luck.

What's his address maybe one of the members is local and could check him out for you. It's sad to have resort to threats like I will show up at your house if you try to rip me off but believe me that works very well. I've done it and its what it took to get my money refunded.
