So the poorer the area a person lives in the more likely they are to be a scammer.
.

Statistically it makes them more likely to be a thief, a murderer, or unemployed so why not a scammer?

I honestly dont see the correlation between being unemployed and being a murderer,thief or scammer?
If i use your reasoning all unemployed poor people are the dregs of society not to be trusted in any form...

It is very rare for a scammer to leave feedback mentioning that they had not got their items, a scammer needs to stay under the radar

Clever ones don't - but some are are just too thick to realise.

Same happened to me. Buyer paid. User name was something like "ilovemyson" and feedback 1350.

I had planned on using a courier, for tracking, but it was a friday - so wouldn't be collected until monday. So i risked standard parcels - so it would be on its way.

On the Monday - she complained it had not arrived. I said allow until the end of the week, as its like 2nd class (had i used courier and dispatched in 5 days as stated - it wouldn't even be on its way yet).

Emails followed daily, and turned to abuse. So i read her "feedback lef for others" - 20 negatives left in just over a month - claiming none receipt.

I told her to save her abuse for royal mail - as they were the ones losing all her mail. She said "what do you mean - this is the first time its happened"? I pointed out her feedback left for others - and i never heard from her again (i had refunded her by this point though). But thankfully she was now aware she was leaving a trail - and i think that saved me from a negative feedback aswell.

Still kicked myslef for losing £22 and had no receipt for the item so never claimed offf royal mail.

Thats because politicians and bankers etc get away with it - so arn't included in the statistics. Many rich people - like dodgey bankers, plumbers, builders, and salesmen, get rich by scamming. Its just a different type of scam.

At least poorer people need the money - not like the greedy sods at the top.
