This was given to me as a gift a while ago and has sat in a climate controlled safe aside from two trips to the range.

Added VZ frag grips and full length guide rod/upgraded recoil system. Includes four mags, bag, DeSantis IWB holster and all original paperwork. I'm asking $2200 shipped to your FFL.
See pictures attached.

Sent a PM. Agreed to $2000. I sent two $1000 postal money orders. Took him a week to get them he claimed. Went to a ‘check cashing place’ they cashed one but not the other. Was going to ship on Friday. Sent email Monday and said his FFL hasn’t sent him a tracking number yet. He gave me the name of his FFL previously. I called them. They had not heard of the gun or Jonathan Rosero. He hasn’t responded to messages on here or emails since Monday.

Someone has some 'splaining to do. With a potential for a $2000 loss I would be contacting local law enforcement.

I sent him a pm when he listed this with my interest in the Nighthawk and he never responded. I sent him my number and asked for a few additional pictures. I hope you get to the bottom of it.

When I saw first saw this, I looked at the guy’s post history, and there’s definitely red flags.

I would definitely contact local law enforcement. Seems the scammers are hacking accounts more than ever. I hate thieves!

2] SUGGESTIONS:

A] CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD. Recent scammers have been able to access the account of longstanding members of websites across the Internet by hacking other databases/websites for login credentials. If a member is using the same username/password on multiple websites the scammers are able to utilize those credentials to login to ANY website where they are valid. They can run an Internet search for a username, and they are then able to login using that common password. Then, they impersonate a long-time member and try to make quick sales, OFTEN RESPONDING TO WTB ADS, or posting BELOW-MARKET PRICES on desireable items ... and demanding instant digital payment.

So ...

MAKE YOUR PASSWORD DIFFICULT: Use CAPITAL and lower case letters, numbers, AND SYMBOLS.

HAVE A UNIQUE, HIGHLY SECURE PASSWORD FOR EVERY WEBSITE! This is key.

B] VENMO, ZELLE, PAYPAL (especially F&F (friends and family)), and other instant payment methods offer NO or VERY LITTLE RECOURSE for buyers. Postal Money Orders are overrated and not much better. THINK TWICE before doing business with a seller who insists on one of these types of payments. Consider writing PERSONAL CHECKS or funding through a CREDIT CARD that offers you recourse as a buyer.

BUYER BEWARE!

FOLLOW ALL LAWS!

I got an email last night. Said he was having trouble with an FFL and hadn’t sold a gun in awhile. I’ve asked for 3 phone calls. Says he’s sending me money order to refund by Monday. Still no phone call though.
