Well it finally happened , I got ripped off by a scum bag on this site , he goes by oldhardluckrifle . His name is Russel Snodgres from Orlando Fl. I bought a Leupold scope from him for $720.00, he was in a hurry to get paid (us postal money order) when he got paid he gave me a excuse everyday as to why he could not ship . then the coversations ended . He would not respond to texts or answer phone calls . Well I am in the process of filing a fraud report with my local PD . If anyone knows or has dealings with this POS I would like to hear from you . Thanks
hate that for you. I'm always paranoid when buying something on here. and when I sell something I honestly probably over communicate with some people just to make sure it's documented well..
Damn.....
I literally just made a post yesterday about this same @$$hole.
https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/18391529#Post18391529I am sorry that he got you. There is a special place in hell for fuggers like him
Thats messed up. I hope you are successful with the police.
Did you reach out to him or vice versa? Wanted posts seem to open up opportunities for the scumbags…
Also contact your Postmaster because you used the mail it's "Mail Fraud" which is a Felony.
Don't feel that you can't reach out to the scum bags local PD and speak to a Detective about the situation.
I don’t deal with anyone until they have been on here at least a year.
Check out the Facebook page for Russel Snodgres of Orlando, Florida. 4 friends, all Nigerian...
https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100088520551293Sorry this happened to you.
Sorry that happened, pay attention to those post counts!
His profile says he was last on the forum 3 hours ago, so he is hardly trying to hide. Like he's proud of himself and wants to see what everyone is saying about it.
Thanks for the heads up. User now on ignore.
Looks like he got hit by the ugly stick one too many times!
This kind of behavior ruins the site for everyone. Maybe contact his local PD. You have his address, right?
Kudu1: I am sorry to hear of this trouble/problem - I am hoping that it can be rectified but the "new-ness" of the culprit has me very concerned.
I have sold many Leupold scopes off'n this site over the last couple of years and it does no good for the reputations of legitimate CampFirer's. Just makes things more clouded/difficult for all.
Again sorry this happened and hope you get resolution.

Have anyone tried using Guntab? It seems to be legit and removes any ambiguity and ensures legitimate transactions. It looks like you can split the 3% between the buyer and seller which seems fair
Was it your WTB ad?
That seems to draw in the predators.

Yeah, post up the address of the dear fellow and maybe there's a Fire member nearby that could do a neighborly "welfare check".
You never know, the guy may have slipped and fallen.
The scum bags address is Russell Snodgres , 5950 , APT. 102 , Scotchwood Glen , Orlando , Florida , 32822 Any help would be great . Thanks

Yeah… fallen multiple times on his head

Google maps says that address is 113 miles east north east from me. Just saying............
I had that happen to me many years ago so I called the postal inspector who sent a letter with an ultimatum of a case being opened on him or me getting paid. I got a money order by certified mail shortly thereafter.
My old grandmother who had quite the way with words would say, “Nail his balls to a stump and push him over backwards.”
Fuggers like that deserve a welfare check. Maybe more than one.
And know I’m being kind since we’re on the ol World Wide Web!
He messaged me about my WTB add looking for a 25-06. He sent me pictures of a rifle and when I asked him to include his name and date on a card with the rifle, he photoshopped a card in there. What a loser!! Don't worry, he'll get what's coming to him.
Some say go by post count but you can't always go by that either. When I first got on here I was screwed by a member with many post. Hope he's ill somewhere in he'll.
I am sorry to hear about this. I have passed on a few deals with newer members or at least ones without a sizeable post count. I hope this works out for you and if I were closer I would GLADLY pay him a "welfare check" for you.
This is an extremely common, much repeated scam and it aint the old man in the picture doing the scamming. That money is already in Nigeria.
Be careful over there!
I’ve heard of a lot of house fires recently
would you post some of the messages exchanged with him?
Search shows 16 successive addresses associated with this name. The latest (current?) is actually back in OH, after the Orlando address listed.

I am sure that he gets plenty of welfare checks from us via the government!
