    WARNING !! SCAMMER !!!

    Hello Fellow Calgunners. There is a group attempting to screw us by offering ot sell us guns from our WTB from out of state.

    Recently, I was approached by someone claiming to be from Texas....mind you, these guys are really good !!!! They used a listing I found from 2013 on another gun auctin site to provide me pictures telling me this was there gun. When I got a hold of the original seller from Texas.....it was sold and shipped to Montana.

    When questioned, they did not respond with other than "trust me"..I am a honest dad. I further asked them to take a pic of the gun on the front cover of a news paper showing the date.....guess what....no reply other than "trust me"

    Here's the kicker. They provided a Texas phone number (I traced to an old land line) and was told to text only (hard of hearing) or spoke in a different language probably !! and being in IT realized this was a remote IP phone setup with a Texas number.

    This guy even went with an email name "Arsenal Glock" !!! Really good !!!! His written english was good also !!

    My adice...if you cant touch it, dont buy it !!!!

    Buyers Beware !!!!

            He offered me a Saiga 12 from TX, cause I've been looking for one and for a grand too. But luckily it'll be a pain in the *** to ship to CA an "evil ak shotgun" so I passed and he emailed me later asking if I still want it

              Sounds like the guy on Armlist a while back who was selling a SAA "Nickel" from LA from the Gene Audrey museum with holster and papers. I had seen the same gun on Gunbroker and contacted that seller to tell him his gun was being used in a scam with his pictures and for him to notify Armlist. The fake seller kept emailing me asking if I was still interested, I didn't respond so they could hopefully catch the perp. Some people!!!!! To lazy to work like others.

                  Thank god Craigs list is scam free
                  Rule 1- ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED

                  Rule 2 -NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO DESTROY (including your hands and legs)

                  Rule 3 -KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET

                  Rule 4 -BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT
                  (thanks to Jeff Cooper)
