Our correspondence did not get that far. He mentioned that he has what I was looking for and if I'm interested. Luckily, I searched his screen name and found your post.

So sorry for this horrible experience. POS like him exist everywhere and find new platforms/targets to scam. That's the reason I don't deal with PayPal, only exception is if account is old and with good iTrader reviews. Take care. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My advice; report them to the IRS. If there’s anything these folks don’t mess around with, it’s untaxed income. Which is what these scammers are getting out of us here. They have the resources to follow the money trail. A VPN will not protect them from the government. Call them, provide as much evidence as you can. They will go after the scammer. Odds are you won’t get your money back but at the least we can put this joke behind bars. I’ve met a few folks in the past who’ve had similar experiences. The IRS does not f*** around.

Don't look for guns that is available in CA out-of-state.
If it was some rare *** long gun they never distribute to CA, then maybe..., but a 762 AR? Dime a Dozen in CA, no need to look out-of-state. Off-roster? Nope you ain't getting it. If you're going to buy something that is available in CA out-of-state, buy from reputatable vendors. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk |

please look out for this guy
ricealbert776 he responded to my WTB post for a glock 17 gen 3 oem slide by sending me a pic of a glock 19 gen 5 complete gun.. i replied in a PM to him that i was looking for a glock 17 gen 3 oem slide to which he reply was "is this not what you are looking for?" if you are clueless as to what someone is looking for and what you are trying to sell then that should be a red flag.. |

Not sure if I should even be posting this but here it goes.
Watch out for possible buyer who goes by Juan79. He contacted me on a pistol I am selling. Wanted more pics and gave me his phone number. After a few days of back and forth we agreed on a price. He said he was going out of town and would contact on a specific day when he got back. A day after said date I sent him a text with no reply. Haven't heard anything since. No big deal HOWEVER His page says he joined back in July of this year. When I went to send him a message on CG It wouldn't let me because it says his inbox is full. Isn't that like 5k messages?? That seemed really odd to me for a page that was started in July 2020. I hope he isnt a scammer and if I am wrong then I will apologize. Just thought I would share. |

Beware of “rossykent270”
Put a post in WTB for an CZ SP-01 and M9A1, He replied he had both, however sent a picture of an M9 and M9A1 instead of CZ+M9. 0 history, new account. Also I asked “I assume you want to ship it” and he replied “yes”. Dead giveaway, but it’s hilarious how dumb these scammers are. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I entered ricealbert776 into google and his username pops up on numerous forums with a recent join date of last week. Website forums like parrotpilots, glocktalk, beyond3d, toyotasupra, midnight runs, audi-sport, irt-dc5.club, watchuseek, savannahcatchat, kar98k, toyota86, lexus.
That's a lot of forums to join within the past week with him responding to other another WTB for watches. Seems too suspicious I don't know. He also responded to my WTB ad but something seemed off. Quote:

0 Trader's rating, freshly made account. He sent me a photo of the lmt bcg 308 but the photo was pulled off google images. I then asked for more photos and he sent me another bcg in a box, this time the bcg was a completely different bcg, a 556 bcg. Different shape and color. I then told him that it wasn't the same as the first one although knowing already that the first photo was from google images, he then says sorry I got a bunch let me find the one for you. Sends me another one, still a random 556 bcg. I then told him the same thing and confirmed that i'm looking for an LMT BCG .308 and he sends me a photo of 2 bcgs in the same photo that looks similar to an LMT BCG 308 but isn't exactly it. I then told him again what I was looking for and he finally sent a photo of the correct LMT BCG 308 in a brand new packaging and he says here I have a new one I just got. Funny enough that same photo was from google images. |

You can also send a PM to Kestryll. Always give them a negative iTrader rating to warn others.

Beware of user jasonsales963. PM’d me from my WTB post and asked me to text him. He texted me photos that were found online and was insistent on shipping an off-roster gun despite me saying it would have to be through PPT.

Watch out for neilsedaka017 part of scammer and possibly fraud, telling you to reach out his friend James Rowland, jamesrowland401@gmail.com and this individual would tell you that he only takes cashapp or PayPal and he also have a bitcoin wallet
He will mail it to you once you make payment Be careful Can some Admin block these people? |

Beware of Seller neilsedaka017
He tried to scam me into buying a P365 SAS from his "friend" using jamesrowland401@gmail.com His profile is as old as the post I put up on the WTB section. His friend asked for $400 online payment first before he shipped the gun. |

Beware of Jburle707
Jordan Burley 707-601-2864 Fortuna, CA Contacted me about https://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/...php?p=25006112 Rather than ship our trades and pay FFL fees, we agreed to trade just complete slides. I sent mine USPS on 11/4 and he provided a valid tracking number the same day. Mine arrived to him 11/9. As of today the other tracking number still says, "USPS awaiting item". Communication was on point until I mailed the slide, then super spotty, now I haven't heard from him in a week. He's been active here since he stopped returning my texts. |

Beware of user “sales419666.” As if the username wasn’t a red flag enough, his phone number is also 424 334 4267 (could be a masked number, not sure). He offered to sell a STI staccato for $300 shipped. Not a smart guy but someone may be dumb enough to fall for his sh*t.

They can do it much easier and faster if it is reported using the red triangle in the upper right of posts and PMs.
Mentioning it here will not likely be as quick. Other info: If someone gets scammed, use the iTrader system to give a negative rating and warn others. New member, low post count are scam warnings, but there are legit new members.

gungugu45
Contacted me about a WTB post I made for a Taurus TX22. User was either trying to scam me or doesn't understand Cal gun regulations. Wanted to 'ship' me the off-roster gun from Texas. I tend to think it's a scam. Gungugu45 feel free to reach out if I'm incorrect. |

I apologize if this type of post is not allowed.
I'm all for calling out scammers, but naming people just because they are new? What purpose does that serve? I'm new to THIS forum, but that doesn't mean I can't contribute. I am here looking to buy and for info on one of my hobbies. Everyone starts somewhere and being new shouldn't exclude you from being accepted. Y'all should call out folks who have done something wrong...but not just because they are new, IMO. PPT's are scary business for some. Forum admin please delete if these types of posts aren't allowed. Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk
