if this turns out to actually be a pre meditated scam people got too much time on their hands like come on use these skills and time for something more positiveI was thinking that too— it would be a pretty lousy scam to assume the item will be lost. But then I saw the amount was over $1,000. Someone could get greedy at that level (especially if able to double-dip), willing to give up credibility/an account on R2R.
I think this was either a crime of opportunity, or else we’ll hear some explanation from the person later.
