I hope I did this right...
So I don't know if this is a new scam or one that is just so old that no one talks about it anymore and I have never seen it, but here we go.
I recently had a viewer on Chaturbate ask me for a private chat in exchange for something from my wishlist. I honestly expected he was gonna welch, but PMd him anyway. Sure enough he said thanks and told me to look at two of the lists. When I sorted them there were several cheaper toys reading as "purchased" I was impressed and continued to trade him some more items for a password show. At this point I thought that he was totally for real and we made a deal for several skype shows and a lump sum of money after wards via paypal(yes, I should have known better). I trusted him because he spent so much money on me on amazon and the site confirmed it. Fast forward a week of shows and his payment days start getting pushed back because of this and that. Eventually I was worried that the gifts he had bought me were being missed or something, so I called Amazon and asked them to check on the progress of my packages. The nice lady on the phone found all of my items marked as purchased...but no purchase orders. No tracking numbers. Turns out there is a way to mark items as purchased on anyones list, but never even order them in the first place. Sooo the thing I was using as proof in my mind that he would pay me never happened. This also means that he got a free password show when I thought he had paid. I am out a ton of money and work because of this week long debacle, so I wanted to warn any one that uses their Amazon wishlist as trade for services that it can be faked. Be careful girls, guys, and others...There are some real scumbags out there.
P.S. The way the do it is they click on the buy from other sources button and then manually click it as purchased just based on their word. Amazon does not require proof that they actually purchased/ordered something. It marks your list permanently as far as I can tell. Just a couple of buttons and they don't even have to cancel anything.

It's better to have a "When it is in my hands" policy. If they get pissy about it, remind them that they shouldn't have anything to worry about unless they are trying to scam you. c: A boner can wait a couple of days, or a week.
