Thieves/Scammers

[ZanieZonie]

Information for all the new and old gunowners out there. I came across another gun site in Az. There were many guns, ammo and stuff listed that were pro-2a. There was a Glock 19x and a 17 each listed for $400.00. Too good to be true. Scottsdale address he said in his texts, and a 480 area code. I thought that he was selling to make rent or something like that. He wanted a quick sale and I told him that I could meet him the next day at Bass Pro. He told me that he could meet me closer to my area. I gave him an address and offered $5.00 for gas. He replied with $30.00 in my paypal account or I don't come and you better have the $400.00. I told him the deal was off with that type of attitude. The next day I was driving through scottsdale and texted him asking he if he still had the guns and wanted to sell them, he answered yes. I gave him an hours notice that I could meet him where he wanted. He wanted $200.00 in his account before he would leave his house because he didn't want to waste his time. I told him that I would have to see the guns before any money changed hands. He still hasn't answered me 2 days later. The ads have been pulled from the site.
There are scammers/thieves in our midst. Don't send money to anyone anymore through the different money transfer sites. Pictures of guns/stuff can be photoshopped into an ad. And don't send money Paypal friends and family. You can't get it back.

One of those on Armslist that’s been reposting continually with a stupid low price and wants a deposit.

The individual has several different variations of Glock 19 and Glock 27 ads, with several different phone numbers (all same pics), and then will post in multiple cities across the US.

IF you think they are using photos off of the 'net, have them do something 'custom' for you.

"Could you take a pick of the gun, resting on top of a roll of toilet paper"?

Nips that crap right in the bud, right quick.

I know people that have been taken in by this type of crook.

People, beware.

Aw man. That same gun magically turned into a Glock 19 when I saw the listing.

I've been trying to chat up these scammers when I see them. Ask them what their bank drop cost them? Were they able to get a good fake ID or scan to verify Cashapp or PayPal. Most of these loosers are idiots themselves looking to make enough to buy the next Call of Duty game.

I don’t even bother with the “too good to be true” ads. If I do that they then have contact info that I’m not willing to share.

I just flag them as scams and move on. They’re really persistent and keep reposting hoping to find a sucker to squeeze a few dollars out of.

Scammer using someone else’s photos, and posting. I’ve seen the original ads for these.
