That member is very recent here, has NO feedback at all, and that auction was for a LOT of money... You sir, have balls. I honestly wish you the best of luck here. I am sure AA will assist you the best that they can. Hope that this is just a shipping delay and that you get your gun soon.

The fact that the guy listed PayPal as a payment option should have been a "red flag" in itself. |

| (no avatar) | Thanks Willie for the info . you were right the exact same photos. beware Edward Lamarsh and Bonnie Jane Jasmer. I contacted Fbi today. In the future I will ask first time sellers to ship thru their local ffl and eat the fees. |

CACAKID MAKE SURE FFL HAS IT IN HIS HANDS BEFORE SENDING MONEY. ALWAYS CALL SELLER AND ASK FOR A COPY OF HIS DRIVERS LICENSE FAXED OR SCANNED AND SENT AS E MAIL TO YOU FIRST AND FUNDS WILL BE SENT TO THAT PERSON WITH SAME ADDRESS. ANY DIFFERENT CALL IT OFF IF THEY SAY THEY MOVED AND DON'T HAVE A NEW LICENSE. ALSO WHEN BUYING SOMETHING LIKE THIS AND FIRST TIME BUYER TELL THEM YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE A NEW PICTURE WITH YOUR NAME ON IT AND IT MUST BE WITH HAND WRITING IT. THIS WAY YOU WILL KNOW IF THEY HAVE ITEM. IF YOU WANT TO CONTACT ME FOR MORE TIPS IN MAKING SURE LOOK UP AN OLD AUCTION OF MINE AND MY DIRECT E MAIL IS IN IT.. I WILL BE GLAD TO TEACH YOU HOW TO BE SUPER SAFE AND YOU COULD PASS IT ON TO OTHERS. ANOTHER THING DO A SEARCH OF SAME GUN IN CLOSED AUCTIONS IN 90 DAYS AS I DID ON THE THREE MAJOR SITES. THEN LOOK AT PICS.. 99% YOU MIGHT FIND IT |

Willie, yer a good man. Another point- find a couple of sentences in the ad with an uncommon wording, and COPY the text. Then go to Google, and insert it in the search bar. If they have used the same wording in another ad, it will pop up. Just did that with first sentence of his description- guess what? He's over on ANOTHER site. And the phone number does not come up. |

| (no avatar) | i had a encounter with a scammer last summer, a very high end shotgun for a very low price(damn near stealing it). when i ask about it i was informed he wanted the money sent western union, never ask about the ffl. when i told him i would send the money and my ffl to a ffl in his area,to have the ffl inspect the shotgun and give him the money when he had looked it over and entered the gun in his bound book. needless to say i never heard from of him again. an other tool is google earth, put the address in and see if its a vacant lot. eastbank. |
