I got popped for $1300 trying to buy a kimber select grade a few months ago. I asked him to put a piece of paper with the date and my “fire” handle on the gun and send me a picture. H sent me the picture. He also sent me his ffl and his id. Claimed to be a Tennessee LEO. I thought that was good enough and sent him the $. No gun showed. It was a photoshopped picture and the LEO in TN had his identity stolen. It was a terrible feeling. X10 on getting them to id themselves on the forum.
