Re: CNC On a Budget - Burnt

I think I can understand how you feel. You looked around for what you
thought was the best deal and you spent your money with them.

The only "Paul Jones" I know was a pirate in in stories I heard as a
kid. That should have been your first tip-off.

The second tip-off should have been "it takes 3 months to fill a new
order". No repetuable vendor would take that long. Maybe 24-hours,
maybe 5 days at worst. There is no "lineup" in any business unless
you are being scammed.

What could possibly take 3 months to fill an order? Dig the iron ore
from the earth, smelt it into iron, forge the ingots and machine them
into a machine you ordered? Probably not.

Consider the $327 as being gone along with the pirate that took it.
Think of it as an expensive but worthwhile lesson. Deal in the future
with people whose reputations you read about and know something
about. A little research goes a long way.

Paul Jones is not a person I have ever heard about. I feel badly for
you that you got taken. That is not the way it works in this
community.
