Facebook scam making the rounds again

[Rick Mason]

Preying on the ignorant and naive. Looks like they have some suckers in the comments. Although Guy made a comment post and spanked them hard.

But...but... I want the badge! It makes me legit!

Do I get the certificate and frame too? That's a nice looking frame. And being a Sagamore of the Wabash would be cool too.

 

[Brad69]

So wear that on your belt in the open ?

Gonna wear it with my mega Veteran hat and retired Army shirt.


I wonder if can get a sticker for my pickup to go along with my Glock stickers.

When I was still at the range, we had an older gentleman come in asking questions about a couple of different firearms, and he then explained he was in the process of getting his “permit” (this was before CC). I asked him a few questions and his answers didn’t add up. It was obvious someone had him on the hook and were going to charge him several hundred dollars to “help him apply” and “expedite” his application.

I felt really bad for him, because he didn’t particularly act like we were being honest with him about not needing to hire some random person to help apply OR expedite anything. We told him the exact process, and even pulled up the ltch page for him, but I don’t think he was convinced that this other person was not needed and was conning him.

Never saw him again, don’t know how that situation worked out, but it was pretty astonishing that the old guy was apparently so gullible.

"A fool and his money are soon parted..."

"If you want it, anytime, I can get it, but you better hurry 'cause it may not last..."

Did I hear you say that there must be a catch?
Will you walk away from a fool and his money?

 

[BigRed]

Dang...why didn't I think of this?

 

[Mij]

Well I went to the website in @Rick Mason ‘s posting, got a picture of an American flag. Nothing else. Maybe because I’m not on FB.


edit: With my old eyes I could see that badge giving me pause in a tight situation, possibly getting myself killed.

No, you hang it on your wall. That's why it's framed. Duh...

Just playing 'wack a mole'
Smack one down, 10,000 more pop up.


I explained on one, that Indiana doesn't have a CCW, it has a LTCH, and anybody training for money, SHOULD know the difference.
The law being kind of important.

Then there was the matter of the "training necessary" to get it.
Which... there isn't.
Don't get me wrong, I highly recommend training.
But not from a company that thinks it's required by law, and doesn't know the legal definitions.

Can't find the facebook page

Also, can't find Relford's comments

There's an entire industry to help people sign up for Social Security.
There's an entire industry to help people sign up for Medicare.
There's an entire industry to help people sign up for VA Benefits.

Why would this "government program" not require help?
Byzantine forms and Olympic level hurdle jumping is just the expected status quo for interacting with .gov.

Much of this crap is from out of the country…

 

[KokomoDave]

Much of this crap is from out of the country…

So from the city. Like Bangladesh, Building 57 in Beijing or Moscow.

So I won't be getting my concealed permit for Indiana, after sending my check? I paid extra because I signed up yesterday and it was the deadline. Now I'm not going to be allowed to carry my Highpoint with me?

 

[Emerson Dambiggins]

But this is still good, right?

 

[Robert Richardson]

Why would anyone with any sense believe anything from Facebook? I always thought Facebook was for bored housewives.

a sucker is born every minute! my brother in law fell for a scam last month. I did not know he was that dumb, he lost $800 and had to ask for money for groceries. but originally wanted 2300 because he thought it would make him more money. just because you are educated does not mean you are smart or have common sense.
