Will it replace my "big boy" skimmer? Highly unlikely but I'm using it now and it was free to me. Good to have a backup anything in this hobby. It works just fine and just so you know my high end skimmer went through a pump in less than a year. So the term junk could be applied to pretty much anything used in this hobby.
BEWARE! More than likely a scam

It was all private message through the R2R forum for me. Regardless, I had no issues. Neither did anyone else it seems. I am going to chalk it up to paranoia and potential misinformation on your end. Good luck with your rant buddy.

Dont need you to tell me anything.
YOU may not have gotten scammed, but THIS IS a scam..
Not possible it was the exact amount. and They pmed me on r2r minutes after I recieved the fake email, telling me they just sent the money, to "check my email".
I would post all the screen shots, but its honestly alot of work. & I am not trying to prove anything.... Just warn you guys.

Is it a verified account? Just verify it on your paypal (not the email they sent) then send the order # and email through the DM here.

It's a Chinese company. The paypal request I got was from a selection of Chinese characters. Paypal is tagging this because 99/100 times when a random Chinese business account is sending requests to some dude in Miami, FL, it's a scam. This is that 1% that isn't a scam.
Right on..again..I think someone might be taking advantage of the situation and actually trying to scam but it's not IOAOI so it could be a good heads up so people know. On our local forum there are scammers who have taken advantage of sale threads and gotten a few people that way.

Whats funny is that IOAOI PMS me a few minutes ago saying there are other methods to recieve my payment.
By either billing them, or creating a payment link on paypal. Obviously this is alot less sketchy, so I created the link and they sent me my money in minutes.
IDEK whats going on, but like I said... Yall been warned

For the record...they just asked me, like others what the order number was, my PayPal email and then sent my a payment to paypal..all was in pm and short and sweet.
Furthermore I would make sure there aren't any I0A0I names and that it's IOAOI with the letter o and not 0 (zero)..that could be another scheme
10 4 cowboy!

I think you may have hit the nail on the head with this. Instead of asking to see the email, the paypal rep probably just assumed based off of their few questions.
Not saying this is what happened, but I could see it being the case.
Spot on. Before you say this, we dare not mention it. We are also afraid, you know, like @rawnold worried about. But everything is good so far.
Hi Rawnold, according to one of the users on that thread, he appears to have worked with them before.
why not PM N1tew0lf1212 and ask if he also had to verify his email through a suspicious link?
Good luck!
