Leak Sentinel advice. Scam?

[Mike McG]

Hello there, so I have a little dilemma. I own a SeaFrogs housing. Not premium I know but I have heard that the Vivid Housings Leak Sentinel is a good addition to make a diveable vacuum seal. The problem is, I contacted Miso at Vivid Housings through information I got on Scubaboard and he says he has the correct Leak Sentinel for my housing however, at first he told me he was having problems with Paypal and now he says they have terminated his account so the only way to pay is via a 'Wise' transfer. As I'm sure most of you can appreciate, sending a large amount of money via Wise transfer offers no protection to the buyer. It all sounds a bit dodgy to me so I'd like to know if anyone else has purchased one in this way from Vivid Housings?

I have purchased a Leak Sentinel V5XB and a Leak Sentinel V6 directly from Miso, no issues whatsoever.

Hey, thanks. Did you pay for it via Wise?

 

[Barmaglot]

No, at the time he was accepting PayPal.

What the email he was using info@vividhousings.com ?

 

[Barmaglot]

Yes, that is the one.
