My down fall was I thought the guy was a vet and let my guard down.

And that's why he claimed to be a veteran. Anything to get you to believe he's a good guy. Con men are the lowest of the low. They prey on the goodness of others then leave people bitter and angry.

Wow this sucks. I have so far never been ripped off. But I also wont let a few of these things keep me from dealing via the internet. Most gun owners are pretty straight forward guys. Especially on ingo.

Thanks for the compliment!

But the point is, this guy WAS NOT a gun owner and WAS NOT a veteran. He posed as such to get people to think, "Gee, he's a vet and gun owner - he must be trustworthy."

I got ripped off recently to the tune of about $80. To me, it felt like $800 because anytime I have something stolen from me I get fairly upset. To anyone new to the hobby, be careful who you deal with and what you know about them. I have bought several items from people on-line and the more they cost the more "vetting" they get from me. I know others have done the same to me and they should. Please provide us an update on your situation. Regards.

Yep. I got ripped off for the tune of $20 in high school twenty years ago, and it still ticks me off a bit to think about.

Mostly mad at myself for trusting the SOB.

This is why I hate con men - they make you feel guilty. I had a hit and run on my brand new car once. It sucked, but it wasn't my fault at all. There was nothing I could do to prevent it. But con men (and women) they prey on the good and then steal and leave you bitter and distrusting.

On forums, only face to face transactions.

(for any major transaction anyway)

I think I am now supposedly dealing with this guy privattteowner@gmail.com ....he is supposedly in North Carolina and girlfriend is name Lisa Haulmark. ....im 2 states away from him and found a Kimber listed on armslist.com ....

 

[animal137]

I'm new to here btw...just made account today because I searched privattteowner@gmail.com email and it took me to this thread and I was reading and thought I would chime in and tell everyone

This is just my opinion, but I think you should re-think the idea of posting private information of others on a public forum.

Unless you have a problem with the transaction, as the O.P. did.

Im not posting private info of anything morr than this specific email address already talked about in this thread.....which I found because of a couple red flags made me think a possible scam. So I searched this specific email address and came to this, in which someone has recently had problems with him in receiving their merchandise. Two people can't have the same email and I have found two people with problems. I wasn't going out and publicly putting this guys name or address out there except for this thread where there was a conversation already taking place about it. If someone out there is scamming people and I said "if" ....and I almost fell for it, am I in the wrong for saying something when this thread was started by someone asking about this very issue? I dont talk about people at random and I'm not that way. But thats not what we are doing here now is it ??

No knock on you I think it was just a thought not to take it to far.

 

[animal137]

I do however understand your point as I did not do the transaction with him so I can't say he took me....I stopped before I believed it could get to that point. But I stopped because of the scenario and something was off with it so thats why I searched his email to start with which brought me here. I was reading where the op had been trying to do something about it and I was just stating that I think I might be dealing with this same guy...since same email address....and same gun site...and wanted to say that in the last month he was supposedly in brazil IN...when he is now telling me he is in NC with a different girlfriend name etc. And using her account or western Union or how ever I would be willing to send it today or asap

 

[animal137]

Well I can't disagree with you there....I can't personally accuse him of anything since I didn't do the transaction and I def don't want to be reason of defamation of character without personal experience.

This is a "stupid tax"

The guy saved $100. to drive to Brazil and waste $1000 (or whatever)

 

[PGRChaplain]

There is No email privattteowner@gmail.com. So how could you email if this is not a valid email address. (Blue Smoke)................

 

[animal137]

I would be happy to forward you some of the emails
