    Just a heads up and reminder to our buyers and sellers. Continue to be vigilant looking for scammers. Admin is not responsible for outcomes. We rely on our users to point out the bad guys.

    Make good decisions. Hopefully our security system will help.

    One of our members just caught a bad guy. He got the boot.

    Please send me information on Bdenny.
    He responded to my "want to buy ad" for a Browning XS with pictures.
    US Postal money orders and FFL were sent but I haven't heard from him since Friday 9/8.
    I have sent several emails but have received no communication as of today.

    I understand about not getting involved with a scammer issue. However, I was simply saying they "maybe" they might call with a question.

    Told me the same thing on selling me a Benelli. Super black eagle said his wife didn’t want him to sell it so he didn’t want her to know, but he would not give me a phone number. He goes by now Hulk 439

    transpired! Billy

    user “gone7tee” is a scammer.

    he sent me a PM regarding my WTB ad with pics pulled from old ads. Actually sent me pics of two different guns.

    this guy is a little more clever than the last one I dealt with and actually knows a little trapshooting terminology. He was able to send me photos of what I asked for but the problem is they were of different guns.

    this guys photoshop skills were a little better than previous scammers as well.

    This guy "Birdog" lists a stock for sale for $1,000, I messaged him I'll take it and he calls me to say he's got a guy that will pay him $1,250 . I didn't think this was an auction site.

    What a seller and potential buyer do via PM’s can’t be controlled by the site.
    You informed the members about his actions, and that’s good.
    I replied to your post on the thread but you didn’t say why, you posted what you did.
    Go to the For Sale thread about the wood and post there what you did here.

    I know it's not against the rules to do this in a PM,just I think it's a crappy way to sell something. I wouldn't do it.

    It is, that’s why I asked you to post what you did here on his For Sale thread so everyone knows what the guy did.
