    Well if that is true then I request the true seller to contact me here, and advise his preferred method to speak about the item he is selling

    We will see what happens, interesting he didn't do it the first time, if there really is a seller

    why not You contact him ….. click on his user name …. Click on message …. Type your message …. Click …send 

    simple …simple

    Scam alert, 

    I made an offer on the price for this, and then seller immediately accepted, asked for blank money orders. Tried to call and its a google number, says here he is in FL told me he is in AZ, and on another site he is offering a hunting bow from TN.  Would not speak on the phone, only text, asked him fairly simple technical questions anyone would know who has one of these and he didn't answer.  Offered to pick up and pay cash, and no response.

    You posted your phone number ….. making YOU easy pray for scammers ….

    Hey guys ..... want to send US Priority Mail packages MUCH CHEAPER ?

    Here's how ........ Use US Postal Flat Rate Padded Envelopes .... 

    Have something that will Not fit the Small Flat Rate Priority Box  ?   [ $10.20 ]
     
    Well ..... if it will fit in the Flat Rate Padded Envelope the price is  ONLY  $10.40 !!! 

    Need extra padding ? …. Place small item in a padded envelope …. Roll it up and insert it inside another padded envelope …seal and ship 

    FYI ..... a 4 Cell AK mag pouch with 4 mags ..... Almost 4 pounds .....WILL FIT in the Flat Rate Padded Envelope ......

  5. Buyers DO NOT post your email address in any WTS or WTB ad 
    If you post your email address or Phone number …. You are MAKING IT EASY for a scammer to contact you and …. SCAM YOU !

    the scammer sees your “ I want it “ post ….. he then SEES your posted personal info or searches for your past posts …. He finds the one post where you posted your email address ( or phone number ) ….. 

    then the scammer creates a new Fake Email that mimics the real sellers name ….. you think its legit …. Or texts you …. And makes contact …

    scammer has you send funds to another email he uses for his scams ….. you send funds  …. then scammer stops all contact .

    If you have posted your email or phone number in any WTS or WTB ad ….. best to find your old post and edit out your Contact Info   ….. 

    Be Safe …. Use Sturm’s members only PM messaging feature …. by clicking on the posters user name ... see the message button ... click on that to send a private message directly to the poster ... type message ... then send 

    Buyers ….. it may be BEST NOT to reply to a sale ad ….  NO….. “ I’ll take it “ …..

    doing this starts a scammer to look for a past post of yours that has either your email address or phone number in it ….. allowing contact .

    From Aaron in Mohnton PA …. This is how this happens: Scammers from outside the United States and within the United States watch this forum every single day of the week. They are specifically looking for posts where a potential buyer replies and says "I'll take it" .... They will then click on the perspective buyers' profile and search his old posts to see if they can locate a post where they put their email or phone number down.... The scammer will then email or text the potential buyer posing as the seller to get them to send money..... Often, they will create email accounts that resemble the actual seller (using their name for example)...... These people are the bottom feeders of the world, and they are on every forum stealing people's money.

    FYI - Scammers already tried to “sell” me these … but we’re not able to produce photos of one because there are no photos of a short M240L specific regulator on the internet …… 

    Aaron ….. if the scammer uses Sturm’s PM option for contact ….. post their user name ….. and I will banned that account ….
