Just a heads up to other CalGunners. I placed a WTB ad here a few weeks ago for a Desert Eagle. I found the gun I was looking for quickly and said so in a follow up post so I wouldn't be wasting anybody's time.
A couple days ago I get a reply from some clown wanting to sell me his gun. Im thinking.....Didnt you read the last post saying I already found it? Then I look at the wording of his email and his location.....the UK.
Cut n paste email below.
"Do you still need the item(s) requested?....mine is in very good
condition. Let me know via email.

For anyone that has sold stuff on Craigs List recently, you will recognize this as either a Phishing scam or find live email addresses or an attempt to get you to send funds. I sold a SUV a few months ago on CL and was bombarded with "Is this item still available?" Emails. Being naive, I responded to the emails never to hear another word except to be flooded with spam.
In no way am I trying to blame Calguns. This is just the inherent risk with putting an ad online. Just trying to give folks a heads up that there are BG's looking here as well.
Thanks,
Christian
