Scam or no scam

[SPLluminator 10+ year member]

Money sent, but please don't ship to the paypal address. People try to steal things off of my porch. If you could ship it to the UPS distribution center on Canal St. in Cincinnati ohio, that would be best. They said that they will hold it, and call me at (***) ***-**** when they get the package. Then I can go pick it up from them. If you have any questions about it, feel free to ask. Thanks for holding the sub for me.

You think this guy is trying to scam me, or does this sound ok?

Sounds fine to me? How could he be scamming you?

If you have signature required on it and he doesnt sign for 2 days they will take it to the distribution place and he will have to pick it up from there anyway so I think it would be ok but you may want to contact ups and ask them to be safe

Ok, im prolly just paranoid. I just dont want to send a package and then have the guy file a claim.

Ship it to his address with signature confirmation. That way if he wants to pick it up from UPS he can schedule it himself.

if you are worried about a scam tell him that you are shipping to PP addy and that he can contact UPS to ask them to hold it there.

your choice, but he could say he never got it and file a claim. If you didnt ship to confirmed PP addy, he could win claim.

Smart thing would be to ship with signature confirmation. If no one is home they will take it to the hub and he can go get it. Thats essentially what he wants anyway.

If you don't ship it to the PayPal confirmed address he will win any claim he files against you since that wasn't his confirmed address on his paypal. That's one of first scams to start with PayPal. As stated ship it to his paypal confirmed address with signature confirmation and since he evidently can't be at that address to get it they will leave him a note saying to pick it up at the local UPS before a certain date.

This is your best bet. Just to avoid any issues.
