He sent me the same email... it’s incredibly lucky (for him) that he happens to have all of our WTBs laying around...

I stopped posting WTB ads for the same reason. Too many scammers out there Just stick with the regular guys with a proven campfire track record. In over 10 years, I've never had an issue buying or selling here, just need to use your brain and good judgement.

So this guy obviously reads the classifieds and is reading this thread.
He will turn up with a new "name" and 0 posts and just signed up yesterday.
Buyers beware.

I just got off the phone with him, I doubt he'll be hanging around anymore. Long story short, I asked him if he was the one that had the Savage 99 I was looking for, we made a deal for him to ship it to me after I sent him a money order for it. Right as we were finalizing everything I said, "hey hang on for just a minute." I then held the phone way away from my mouth and said in a very loud voice, "hey Vince, take them cuffs of of him and bring him in my office." I went back to the phone and said, "sorry about that." He never said another word and hung up on me. 😁😁😁

If you have a Paypal address for him and he was wanting to be paid by Paypal for a firearm...report him...to Paypal...for a "GUN TRANSACTION ON PAYPAL" They will permanently limit his account(read FREEZE0 and at least that part of his scam will be over...

I was going to, but I don’t want to send that from my email. It’s linked to my account. I didn’t want to risk them doing it to me as well. Good timing on calling him. I just told him I sent everything to the local authorities.
