Unfortunately, you posted this in the wrong area. I assume you meant to post this in the For Sale forum. Instead, you posted it in a no man's land, where most people will never see it. You actually have to click on For Sale Items to get to the For Sale forum.
 
I got scammed by him too. If you hear anything from your attorney or the police. I would be grateful to learn more. Thanks! Venmo (where I paid) said there was nothing they were willing to do.

Tell him you'll sell it to him for $300 :)

FWIW - I left a message with the Cumberland Township PD in PA, and received a call this morning from an officer there. Apparently there have been multiple complaints, and an investigator has been assigned to the case. He's going to call me sometime this week.

It seems so easy for a cop to catch someone like that. The cop just needs to wait for his next ad, then tell the seller he will buy the item and send him the money. Bingo!

A warning sign I look at is payment by Venmo or Zelle and not wanting to be paid by Paypal. I’ve had Paypal go to bat for me on one scam where they gave me an immediate refund (like before I hung up the phone) and sent the scam information to the FBI. Good luck seeing that from Venmo or Zelle.
 
also it is a good idea to use virtual credit cards and fund them with an exact amount before purchasing as well ... this helps shield you from card stealing
 
also when you buy ..... i wouldnt store anything on your account ... you have to thing what if that company gets hacked ........
 
Add me to his list of victims. He cheated me out of $900.00; I'm pissed but I'm not going to do or say anything stupid. I was dealing with Matt Bargerstock for a period of several months from July through November, 2022. During that time, I had a few conversations and text exchanges with his mother. My current plan for recouping my lost money is to make her aware of his underhanded dealings and request that she get involved. If I'm able to achieve some level of success dealing with her, or through my legal team, I'll report back on this site and share his mother's contact information and whatever details I can regarding the resolution.

It's so unfortunate that our pool community, indeed our world, is inhabited by people with zero moral fiber or character. I regret the necessity to involve this guy's mother, but perhaps she deserves the burden for not having given her son a positive set of values in the first place.

Good luck to all, who like me, are trying to recover from Matt Bargerstock's deceiptful treachery. I'm seriously considering going to Super Billiards Expo this April 13-16, 2023 to compete in the "Super Senior" 65+ event. At age 77, I think I'm still competitive and can hold my own against anyone regardless of age. If anyone who reads this post is going to the event and sees me there, please say hello and please update me regarding your interactions with the scoundrel who created the need for this posting.

Though I sympathize with you, and every person who is attempting to recoup losses associated with this individual, I would strongly advise that you do not make anyone's personal information "public," on this site. I would also advise that any member thinking of publishing someones personal information on this website, reach out, and contact Mike Howerton, prior to doing so. He is @azhousepro.
My sincere thanks to all.
Best regards.
