Yeah sadly a few paypal payments for coils or juice was sent from me before I realized that POTV was just as prone to a few long cons.This takes me back.
There used to be a time where people with no avatar or post count reported having been the victims of theft on an almost weekly basis, in order to con forum members to part with kit - that then went straight up on eBay.
The most shameful thing is that they also stole my belief in genuine incidents, like the one you clearly suffered from. I sincerely hope you find your missing kit. At least you can claim on your insurance or that of the company’s once reported to the police.
