<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 993112, member: 19065&quot;]It&#039;s so not paranoia, but thinking around one&#039;s chosen situation to protect themselves in the event of the unexpected. Such scams exist so don&#039;t fool yourself to think they cannot be pulled on you too. As you can see all worked out in this case, thankfully. However, you should always be aware of your surroundings. Security is not guaranteed-- for either party. Be it a set up or not, a stranger/passer-by could just as easily have seen them handling a large bar of silver in a wide open parking lot and ripped them both off. I assume you did pull the bar out and examine it in the open, not buying the thing sight unseen (had you there would be little point meeting in person.) Taking your eyes off your surrounding to examine the bar it time enough for someone to do something or step into take advantage. I would not have met in an open parking lot, but then I wouldn&#039;t have agreed to do a deal in this manner either. Security should always be first and just toting a weapon along is not enough.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
