SCAM ALERT!!

[003]

I recently placed an ad for a S&W model 41 in the WTB section. Just received the following PM:

Hi and Happy Holidays,

I can help you with a lead. Please contact Jeff on jeffjohnsonrider@gmail.com regarding your request. He is located in Nunnelly, TN 37137 and the last time we talked , he had for sale. I purchased items from him and they arrived in NEW condition as described and just right on time. His cell # is 931-257-7351.

Thanks

This is almost exactly the same message I received from previous WTB ad a few years back. The last time it proved to be a scam, as I am sure this one is also.

Who's the PM from? Did you go back to see if it's from the same person as a year ago?

Report it to a mod so the account can be banned

The PM came from SWMAN. He has zero posts. Listed as a junior member.

I've gotten 3 emails (not thru Cal Guns) with the same sort of nonsense on a sailboat I have for sale. They never mention the object being sold, the say "item" etc....
They have weird names. The last email the guy called himself an Engineer.

Engr Murray Sloan.....haha.

I posted a WTB ad yesterday and got the same pm from the same guy. I didn't call since he had zero posts and no itrader.

You young guys need to invite him to your house, say you have lots of cash, don't trust banks. Brass knuckles optional.

thanks for the heads-up.

I received same...

[BigPimping]

get those scammers here occasionally. I report them to a Mod and let them investigate all that stuff.

[sandsnow]

I got the same kind of message regarding some stuff I had for sale on craigslist about 6 months ago.

Moral of the story: Don't trust anyone who wishes you "Happy holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas".
