mouse , in your own words you said that from the start that Chris did not want to use the service , he wanted money in hand , (thats his right) why didn't you just move on if you had this bad vibe ? I'm not taking sides , but if one party doesn't want to do this type transaction then its not gonna work out...most people that sell used parts deal in cash...just the way it is.....but I don't think he or you either one is a scam artist so it really shouldn't even be on the scammers forum anyway....sorry your deal fell through , but it happens. the man said he would send you the money ...but he is not a scammer. and I don't think you are a bad person for wanting to use the service , its just not for everybody , thats all,,,,Paul
