[Wildcatter]

I got a PM from this new member to contact a seller that I know through a different email address.

This guy needs to go!

A new member scammer who did take the time to put up something as an avatar (a kangaroo?!). So sneaky.

 

[Skshyk]

Yup even the scammers are getting lazy! Using the same number.

Too cheap to buy a burner. Or too stupid.

@Luvthunt , Just looked into @teklanika_ray account and all seems fine for now.

Yep, I'm a real boy.

I live in Alaska, and just found your site. I have decided to do a safari when I retire in three years. So I thought I should get some more information. Your site seems packed with good info.

I am a bit cautious about messing with the classified section anymore. You appear to have some scammer issues, and as I am a "New Member" that has had mixed outcomes (and less that welcoming at times). Anyway love the site. Sorry, I'm so new. Not sure what I can do about that now. If you want additional information on me, feel free to DM me. Happy to chat with like minded individuals anytime (except moose season which is coming very soon, if you DM then it may be a day or two before I respond).

Thanks for the membership Ray Heuer

What I sometimes do, I just type suspicious email address in google.
Sometimes it is immediately directed to some black list. (typical for Nigerian princesses)
Sometimes, as is the case with above email address it is linked to several relatively fresh selling adds. No older internet signature.
So, fresh email address, from fresh new unvetted forum member, strange messaging, red flag!

Had two responses to a WTB add. Both same title and same wording in the body. One did respond to texts but very delayed. Seems fishy

Yes, they are both new members that have been trying to build credit by welcoming other new members. Stay away.....

Thank you for reporting these scammers, both have been banned.

I wonder if we could bait the scammers? Meaning we all agree on a fake WTB post type? It’s not like the scammers would read the forum where we all decide that a WTB Remington 700 in 300WM is ALWAYS a fake ad?

Like

«Wtb .416 REM 709 to be used in hot tropical areas ?

This should work: "Hey buddy! Wanted to buy .243 Mossberg Patriot. Willing to pay $20K for the right gun in good condition. Send private message to @BRICKBURN if you have what I'm looking for."

 

[BRICKBURN]

That would sort it out quickly.
