if i remember correctly, someone said before...they were in driving distance to the scammers ?
Don't have time to backread but anyone claiming that would probably related to the scammers or would be a sock-puppet account to further shill their fake product. I am truly sorry for those who fell victim to this scam and hope that in one way or another you get your money back.
As always, make sure you do the necessary research before investing into anything.
