Doug Smyth RIP, scammer??? Options

[TravisNeff]

I super sold out low on 2.0 ssi's for him. then 3 weeks later I get an email from his daughter saying he is dead and asking for a refund

I said return the exchangers and I will refund, the funds

its been a couple weeks and nothing. This dude and his family are scammers. BEWARE for NY or Quebec transactions

******
I edited the title, I was super aggressive and a couple of PM's opened my eyes. I was never scammed. I will admit I feel like a total ass.

I never put a FS ad for my exchangers out there, just mentioned them in a thread where I was asked - how much? User with a low post count, and I don't remember a join date or any posts from him

Communication (from me and Doug) was slow, and it seemed like apathy to send funds, but pressure that I sent the parts first. Maybe it was just me.

I was to send them to a UPS mailstop in North NY, Doug had a Canadian email address. Well after a month I hear that he has passed from his daughter. No one has picked the parts up, but it was said to me that he JUST passed suddenly.

Then his daughter had said; from Doug's email address that his paypal was open, but not sure if how long his email would be active. She asked that if she return the parts could she get a refund. 2 days later I replied and sure enough his email was no good. She copied her email address and I responded to that as another addressee. I have never heard back from her, no failures on her email address.

I responded, sorry about your loss and I would do anything I could to return funds. I just needed the exchangers back minus shipping (that was the deal, one price including shipping).

I logged into paypal to return funds, even shipping (where I felt/feel I was almost scammed). horrible story from the email.. This is where I felt stupid looking at the above. I held my ground and never heard anything back from his daughter, no exchangers, etc.

I should have said, RIP (which I changed the title) and said - maybe beware.
