So I just bought an HSI set two weeks ago from @SpaceMonkey420 for $5K and he sent me two boxes of paper ?!?

Serious!
Mikes always been a nice guy. But I don’t buy an excuse that this was opened up and the post office put the paper in if that’s what he’s going to try to say.

I can’t tell if this is real or not.
But…it’s also spacemonkey. So who knows.
Maybe try invisible ink revealer, or hold up the paper to like a heat lamp? I’m guessing he hid your chips somewhere along the pacific coast and you’ll find coordinates on one of those reams of paper.

This is real. I just got scammed.

I guess I should wait to hear back from Mike. But the packages were not tampered with. It’s full of paper.

But it seems like you haven’t talked to him yet.
Sorry, sucks to be involved in it. It does make for popcorn popping time though every time this comes up, so at least there’s that.
We’ll just have to wait and see and watch this unfold/resolve. Just not used to seeing a “scammed!” warning post without it being a bit further along the resolution track.
Gotta say, boxes full of paper is a new one for PCF!

He could’ve slapped labels on the wrong boxes? I’ve juxtaposed shipping before, and just had the guys reship em off to each other (covered costs of course).

What further along. Need to bring awareness if he’s involved in sales with other people.
What kind of error would have you mailing boxes of paper at more expense than it would cost for someone to actually purchase that paper? Just saying, this is not good…
OP

Why would he be shipping blank paper? My guess is he is going to say a postal worker stole the chips and replaced it with paper.

Anyone with experience on PayPal using goods and services and cc payment? Always use CC and goods and services for something like this. Quick PayPal prompts I couldn’t do anything.
This is what I pictured.

Like “hey Mike, I got boxes filled with paper. Mint, unused paper, but paper.”
And then mike does or doesn’t respond? Iono, you’re prob right it’s good to get things out there.
But there’s nothing anyone can do or say until y’all converse, unless someone else pops in with a Mike story too…(which I get is the intent of your post, makes sense).
lol I can’t imagine someone’s face going to open up boxes of chips and finding paper.
I’m only laughing now assuming it’ll get resolved and you’ll be made whole, but man paper is def a weird one. Fingers crossed for ya.

Just stfu
Thankfully you should see that money back if you used G+S

What’s the process? I just tried on PayPal and got stonewalled bc it was friends and family using a CC. I misspoke I didn’t do goods and services. So I need to contact my credit card company eh?
OP
OP
He’s acting like I put the paper in the boxes and I’m scamming him LMAO.
You would have to be really high to come up with that story and think it is going to be believable…
If you have a credit card linked to the PayPal acccount, report it to them first. They'll usually deal with PayPal directly.
F’d up for sure.
Just an FYI, the PO has pics and package weight of every package at every check point as it goes through the scanner.
If that happens to be a direction you need to go…..

He said he will call me tonight (Mike @SpaceMonkey420)

It did take 10 days to travel to my house from Cali to ohio
That would be the way I go. I always use a credit card linked to my PayPal in the event something like this ever happens.

The weight at shipping was 19 pounds and 10 1/2 ounces
