I posted a WTB for a Leupold scope and Donaldrusin1 sent me a PM. He just joined and has 0 posts, is he a scammer? I didn't open the PM, didn't want to take the chance if there was some backdoor to my computer in the PM.
UPDATE: He is a scammer!!!!!!

I didn't open the PM, just deleted it. I put in my WTB to contact me through the post, not to PM me.

Anyone with 15 or less posts is suspect.
Thanks, Dinny

Rabid Creedmoorians ring my doorbell ... as I open it a crack they speak : "Do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and Savior , 6.5Creed?"

Also, lrlarry is a scammer.

Thanks, Dinny 15 or less post is a good rule. They should set it up so there is no PM function until you have 15 posts and a current member recommendation.

He’s a scammer, told me his buddy Richard in Chicago has the exact rifle I’m looking for, and provided an email address.

I have been looking for gun parts for the last year and have run into several of these scumbag scammers. They have not got me yet but I really have pay attention and not let my guard down. Just wondering , why do they want you contact someone else? I had one give me a email address a couple weeks ago. I did try to contact the guy but never heard anything from him. Racenjason is another piece of scum to watch out for.

30 or 50 posts would be better, maybe someone should mention the idea to Mr Bin I think that you have to use some common sense when it comes to someone that sends you a PM and gives you an email address of someone that has what you're looking for. This same scenario has happened to me on here recently and I immediately looked at their join date and post count, they joined the previous day and had zero posts. I have always had great transactions on here and hope to continue to in the future. By reading posts like this one I've learned what situations to avoid. I like that the members that have been a part of this community for a long while are protective of it and help herd these guys out into the open for all to see what they really are. I also would like to say that I find a lot of these posts very entertaining as well as informative!
