Scam

[Pofoo]

Just a FYI here. A couple of weeks ago, I posted in the wanted to buy forum that I was looking for a pistol that is fairly rare in California.
So far, I have received 3 private messages from 3 different brand new members that "so and so in San Diego or Chicago has that pistol", and then a listed email to contact.
I'm 99.9% sure this is a scam and I haven't contacted any of these guys.
Just a reminder that low life scammers are everywhere.

Most likely a scam.

Please out them or at least report them to Kes/mods. so others can keep an eye on them.

You could ask for a FTF for the guy in San Diego.

This. I received a private message today from Garyxxx saying this very thing.

Better to keep an eye on him, tell a mod. Right now its easy to take advantage of panic buyers who don't know laws.

Got a message exactly like that from user named “Gary_” -whose account has since disappeared.

Told me contact “Richard in Chicago.”

It came across like one of those IRS scams where they try and get you to buy iTunes gift cards-

“Tanks for colling the IRS. This is GARY JOHNSON. To proceed, kindly moneygram the money funds via western union simply to RICHARD IN CHICAGO.

Me too. No prior posts or transactions. "A guy in Chicago" has what I want.

Read my username carefully.

It is not me!

Mods should put a warning up in the WTB sub forum

It's gotten better than it was in the past.
