There are to many scams going on.
No, this one is a USP Compact .40 with stainless slide.
That's a difficult to find HK, to bad you can't deal with a local buyer.
I swear, there are so many flakes out there. So many locals have said they were gonna buy it, then went radio silent. And trying to sell an iPhone or iPad - just nuts.

| Most of the time banks will verify a cashier's check. US bank would back when I worked for them. You called, gave them the numbers on the check and they could tell you if it was a real check or not (provided the check was drawn on them)

| Ok, he's a scammer. Check this email out he sent me today: i got confirmation that payment has been made to you, It will be delivered to your address any day from now.... But to my greatest surprise, My bankerpp mistakingly made out the check for $2500.50 ....... instead of the actual amount of the purchase and the funds as already been deduct from my account because it an official cashiers check from my bank. I instructed her to send your actual amount for the item I bought from you and write another one to my cousin..... Upon the clearance kindly deduct the agreed price + shipping and extra $35 for securing the gun for me after which i will make arrangement on how you will get the extra funds send to my cousin.. i will need your immediate response assuring me that i can trust you to handle this with care and have the remaining funds returned appropriately thanks.

| Yeah. I'd recommend this... Also, WTH with the English as a Second Language.
"If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne
"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 |

| Get everything together including e-mails, for US Postal Inspectors. It'll be worth the time and effort. This guy is not new to scamming. When the hairs on your neck tell you there's something not right, listen.

I doubt the person I'm dealing with is the same person on the DL and CCW he emailed me. Now, he did email me an FFL and it's legit. So I could call that FFL and ask if he knows this guy. But I doubt any of this checks out.

| The Classic Scam. Who is ever going to over pay you for anything? Nobody, that's who! |

Savor the limelight
| The FFL will have no clue who the guy is as the guy never intended to take possession of the gun.
At least you didn't fall for it. |

| Same thing happened to me-twice!--with one craigslist sale, a large Ikea wardrobe I was selling for $200. Sent a cashier's check for >$2000--by US Priority Mail! I called the RV company that the check supposedly came from, woman in accounting department said wasn't the first time, I sent copy but NOT original cashier's check to them to prosecute. I am still wondering if the woman could be in on it and if I should call USPS fraud office.
