Scam Alert..copied from Florida Concealed Carry
MEMBER ALERT re: RECENT SCAMS IN OTHER GUN FORUM WTS FORUMS
This message was posted in the Colt Forum by their Administrator.
"Over the weeked we had 3 seperate "new" type foreign scam attempts (at least something I haven't experienced) .
All were posted in the Want to Sell forum . I've dealt with hundreds of spammers pushing electronics , nike shoes , porn , etc . These were specific gun/gun related items for sale with real photos(probably stolen from online ads) and priced below market value but not crazy low . Just enough to get quick attention and make the buyer think he found a deal . The items advertised were Colt revolvers and vintage Mauser scopes . The "seller's" IPs showed they were from Nigeria and Poland . One member had responded to a Colt revolver ad and was given an address in St Louis to send money .
All 3 were spotted by alert members , thank you !
Use caution when looking at items from "new" members posting ads.
Other forums have seen at least one of these guys as I've spoken to the administrators there too .
Be alert please."
