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.

It appears the ban hammer has swung and been very effective.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If you have a PM or fake ad, use the red triangle in the upper right.

You can also send a PM to Kestryll.

Always give them a negative iTrader rating to warn others.

He is on a bunch of other forums (cars, watches, etc.). Google search shows this person is also apparently a horny blonde escort on in both New York and Las Vegas.

He has been reported.

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.

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.

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.

When they are only in the WTB form and are trying to sell someone in Ca a gun from out of state and that gun is off roster or even on roster. And the scammer is new ( see what I did there) yeah they need to be called out.

Beware lorimanson995. Approached me about my WTB ad for an off roster and is from Denver. Didn't reply back to my inquiries regarding his residency. Long story short, scam.

There is a strong correlation between the newness of the account and the likelihood of being a scammer. They have have a trademark pattern that needs to be called out before they rip people off.
