    I Got Scammed On Instagram, Careful Out There

    That sounds like the beginning to a great story. I am glad you stopped yourself. I have nobody to blame but myself really. There were two times when I thought to myself, "Is this a scam?" I need to be better at trusting my gut.

    I Got Scammed On Instagram, Careful Out There

    Also - Another takeaway for me, do a little digging on the name, email address, or account handle. Its usually not their first time doing it, and someone has said something. I waited about 45mins to long to search, but as soon as I did I knew I wasn't getting anything out of the transaction.

    Hindsight – you are absolutely right. In the moment it was "So by clicking this I can save $7" – :LOL:

    I Got Scammed On Instagram, Careful Out There

    Unfortunately - It is much easier than that. They have you send them money via PayPal (or bitcoin) through the friends and family feature (this saves on a processing fee I guess). The friends and family exchanges are harder to dispute.

    I Got Scammed On Instagram, Careful Out There

    I did through Instagram, but not sure they will care much, as they don't have an option for "fraud" - only inappropriate content and using someones identity. I also opened a case with PayPal, which I hear doesn't hold up well when you use the friends and family feature of it. All in all, It...

    I Got Scammed On Instagram, Careful Out There

    Just a heads up to you all out there – There is an active scammer out there on instagram. I had a pretty long messaging session about some cellar he was trying to sell off - Then he took me for $150 bucks. I am not sure the best way to protect ourselves from being scammed, so just wanted to...

    KB&B Yello-Bole Coating

    Oh no, yeah - I was reading the same thing earlier. That is why I am trying to find out WTF it is really made of before I light-er-up, or even if it will sand out. I know if goes into the draft hole a bit too.

    KB&B Yello-Bole Coating

    Did you find that the bowl left any kind of flavor behind? Chemical or even light amount of honey?

    KB&B Yello-Bole Coating

    You are probably right - could have a red stain.. its the same color as most pipe I own, just glossier.. I am contemplating trying to ream out the "honey" – not sure yet.

    KB&B Yello-Bole Coating

    Actually - it is pretty natural finish... minus the the heavy gloss lacquer look on it.. That does not bother me that much tho, I am not smoking the outside of the pipe.

    KB&B Yello-Bole Coating

    I just acquired a KB&B Yello-Bole "Century Model" - My quick research suggests that it is around 1950's era. I am curious if anyone knows what the inner "Yello" coating is made of, other than "Real Honey", because I have never seen honey in that bright yellow color. :ROFLMAO:

    Any Current Deals Out There?

    That is a big commitment! (For a good price tho) Setting my dad up with a sampler, trying to figure out what he likes. He has had a 4 oz mason of a Tinder Box blend for years. I left 1oz of Warped Cloud Hopper with him, and he flew through it. The plan is to get him a good VaPer, an English, a...

    Looking for tobacco. I have a cart online going for Smokingpipes & another for P&C. Getting him as many different quality blends as i can for his around $50 (free shipping is worth an extra blend these days)

    If You Could Only Have 7 Pipes.. Which Ones Are They?

    I actually find that really a unique perspective. I had imagined what it would be like to find one pipe shape, and just have each different finish that pipe could be made from.

    If You Could Only Have 7 Pipes.. Which Ones Are They?

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) - Bob I have been thinking a lot of necessities the last few weeks, and I wondered if I had to trim my pipe collection to 7 pipes. Consider it a "Highly Curated Collection" instead of the common, I WILL COLLECT UNTIL I CAN COLLECT NO MORE. Take...
