Ricordo Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Placed a couple of for-sale ads on a statewide internet gun trader. For face-to-face transactions in beautiful, downtown Land O' Lakes. Last night, someone sends the cryptic message..."Is it (are they) available?". I replied this morning, "yes, they are". Ten minutes later, the "buyer" answers, "Sorry for the delay in replying. I'm a FFL dealer in Dallas, TX. Either send them to me after being paid or also we can do it through an FFL of your choice, after you get paid, of course. What's your shipping costs?" Scam....or Not Scam? One Winner will receive the grand prize of one doublestack Wendy's cheeseburger. All conditions apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar_ml Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 sounds less like a scam since they are willing to go through an FFL after payment. Of course, I'd wait until payment has definitely cleared 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batesmotel Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 At least no iTunes or Target gift cards are involved. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuteTheMall Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Scam. Your ad specified face-to-face, that's clear enough. In beautiful downtown Land O'Lakes no less. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricordo Posted November 20, 2022 Author Share Posted November 20, 2022 Individual replied separately to my two (2) ads. Same wording on both. Here's his IP, https://scamalytics.com/ip/191.96.120.219+ Also, the email address he provided has no history. Meaning, it's very recent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batesmotel Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Scam. Did he ask for a verification code? If he did, send it. But talk to me first. I know how to screw with code scammers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't ask for a verification code. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricordo Posted November 20, 2022 Author Share Posted November 20, 2022 Fwiw, I use MailWasher to filter emails sent to me. If I read and delete them there, they never reach the Inbox. Granted, it would have been convenient for me to sell them at the same time... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricordo Posted November 20, 2022 Author Share Posted November 20, 2022 What got me going was his statement, "Sorry it took so long to reply", or some krap like that. He replied within ten (10) minutes of me sending it. ??? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
