Re: Bank Transfer - Am I Too Suspicious?

Yep..it's just a scumbag customer trying to rip you off.
Dad did an $800 job for someone and they paid $400 deposit by transfer which Dad cited. When it came for final payment they sent him a screenshot of the confirmation screen, the one where you press "yes, send now", but cropped out the button so it looked like a transfer.
Dad being the trusting idiot who didn't bother to check, provided the goods and only a week later wanted to know where the transfer was. When I saw the screenshot I immediately knew he was scammed.
We contacted the buyer who feigned ignorance, said they sent it. We toyed with reporting to the police as fraud, but didn't follow through. They sent another $100 or $200 some months later. But Dad decided to just move on.
