I posted this in the classifieds section:
Just a warning-
I posted an ad about wanting a used D400
wind generator.
I was messaged by a fellow
member:
"churchwilliam"
He said his friend had a D400 and to e-mail him:
"Hey, my good friend Rob want to get rid of his. You can contact him on
Robinsonmicheal83@gmail.com for it"
I contacted the seller who sent me detailed photos of the D400. I sent him
money via paypal for the unit, after which he tells me he is in the hospital and won't be able to ship the unit. He e-mailed me stock photos of a man in the hospital that looked like they were literally taken off of a hospital's website. I filed a complaint with my bank and credit card but I have not seen a return on the
money.
Moral of the story- I am not as wise as I thought regarding
purchasing a used item online, but I thought
buying a D400
wind generator off of a cruising forum would be far from a scam. I was wrong. Be aware of
member churchwilliam.
