Never heard a word after I asked him to post in the thread and give me his handle.

What a great guy. Please take note of the name and the email address:

He just responded this afternoon to my WTB ad so he's obviously sliming around here still.

Just like his mother is still sliming around the local seedy bar scene, no doubt.

The same guy has popped in and taken a member for $400 on CZfirearms.us. He used another email of rclif61@gmail.com and a user name of 'Riddid'. He gave an address in Phoenix AZ.

Para: I can let you have the complete details by email if you wish.

These shitbags are everywhere.

Now, this asshole here always feels the need to "explain" why he's offering up goods at irresistible prices. Asshole

Oh and "precisely" 18 rounds, not approximately. Asshole.

Subject: Ruger Talo GP100

Hello, i have my my Ruger GP100 Talo Edition up for sale. This edition features a 6" barrel, unfluted cylinder. The gun has had precisely 18 rounds through it, so it's still in excellent condition. I had planned to hold onto this, but sometimes things come up and it just happens I need to clear some extra cash at this moment, so I've decided to let this one go, knowing I'll replace it again some day. Absolutely beautiful revolver. I'm asking $480 for this.
Let me know if you're interested.

Next up- "I have to sell this at half price because my mother is dying..." Asshole.

Hello!

I just solved a problem with my account and Parabellum went to great lengths to make sure the situation was handled smartly. Damn scammers make everything suspicious and they make everyone look bad.

Thank you,

Jim

Yet another member has been ripped off.

Goddamn, guys.

Do you see this name?:

Michael Spector

DO. YOU. SEE IT?

This is a THIEF!!

For fuck's sake! Stop doing this, for God's sake!!

ANYONE TELLING YOU THEY HAVE WHAT YOU WANT >>>>MUST<<<< prove they are legitimate by POSTING IN YOUR THREAD. How many times do some of you have to be told?????

No, on second thought, just keep encouraging this insect to keep feeding off of us by throwing your fucking money at him. That's the ticket.

Crazy!

I’m running my own mamas email through google searches these days. How the hell are y’all so oblivious to this?

So. When you send the check to him.

Who’s cashing this check? Who’s going to the Mail to get it?

Has anyone contacted police in AZ to
Discuss this?

I hate to be That Guy, but sure, call the police in Arizona and tell them there’s a scammer. What about the next guy and the one after him? This isn’t one guy doing all this. It’s a network of people. The burden to question absolutely everything about someone at every turn HAS TO BE ON YOU.

Her's the address this thieving fucking lowlife used. He intentionally misspelled Michael as "Micheal"

I know of at least two people who have filed police reports in Phoenix regarding this particular scammer and contacted the Postal Inspectors as well. I don't know if the PD have done anything with the info.

Broadstone Osborn is the name of the complex he is using as an address. Looks upscale. Some rents are 1800 a month. My guess is he using someone as a front to use this address.

The driver's license he is using is almost certainly stolen

Sadly, being as the local "news" stations regularly run sob stories about people getting ripped-off yet again by the same old scams that have been around for years, my guess is it won't matter how many times you tell members.

It may sound cold, but I've absolutely zero sympathy for such people.

It's like the story on the "news" a few days ago about the idiot who quickly ran into the gas station store--leaving his car outside, unlocked and running. Can you believe it: It was stolen!

Saw an idiot do that where I stopped to pump gas last week. Just shook my head and drove off.

Thanks for keeping an eye on this, Para!!

Here are some more known scammer email adddresses, some of them may be duplicates of ones already posted in the forum:

hagartrag@gmail.com Here's this slug's Zelle address- elveraheyeswes61@gmail.com Using the name Thomas Stephens, 816 F ST SE, AUBURN WA This name and address is from a Washington state DL, probably a stolen ID, but with these assholes, you never know.


tpshot430@gmail.com

gilslasershot@gmail.com

These are without a doubt scammer email addresses.

It seems we are now gaining traction against this amoral thieves. Members are on the lookout for this trash, and as I've said- if you have a WTB ad up in this forum, one of these assholes will contact you to try and take your money. Operate under the assumption that everyone who contacts you is a thief, and work backwards from there. Don't hesitate to contact me to advise me of scam attempts, or to confirm a member's identity if you have any doubts.

DOB is 1993 on the DL

Received an email from a forum member asking if I had an item for sale. Apparently a scammer contacted them claiming to be me. The scammers info:
