Angry Beware of Scammer joe325222@gmail.com

After a long..long group of back and forth emails about me buying 1, then 2 holsters for a Star BM.. this guy scammed me for $75 bucks.

I was actually notified by Paypal that he was NOT legit, and they refunded my money. Towards the end the seller (joe325222@gmail.com) was causing me to rethink the purchase..
This is my first time in 28 yrs online and literally a thousand purchases, that Ive ever been scammed, so just be warned.

I was just PM'ed by this account (Joe325222@gmail.com). I won't email that address, as he's an obvious scam.

Yeah. That's pretty much the hallmark of a scam artist. Combined with the broken English.

This guy tried to scam me today, said he had a Glock 23 complete frame for sale lots of red flags the price he was asking is less than half of the actual worth, he spelled the name of the city he claims to live in wrong, and he offered to send me to item without going through FFL.

Classic scammer characteristic is using their email as a username, not sure why .

PayPal was awesome. Have the user accounts been suspended or banned?

Do your due diligence! If you place a want to buy ad and you get a private message from somebody who just signed up, has zero, one, two total posts, and has a Gmail account, kindly reply back to them with go f*** yourself. 100 times out of 100 times it's a scam

Go into your private messages in the top right there's a little red triangle. Click on that and send a message to the mods that this is a scammer. They will ban the account

Beware of OfferUp scams involving Miller Mig welders that are advertised at below $1000 by the same type of broken English scammers. They insist on using Venmo & Zelle which provide no protection against fraudulent activity and they will not let you contact/text them via cell phone.

Dear Admin,
I don't know how else to attach a screen shot of my private messaging, but that's what I got.
Hopefully other calgunners would be able to see it.
