Aaron in Mohnton Pa Posted December 9, 2022 Report Share Posted December 9, 2022 (edited) New tactic that a scammer tried to get me on today...... They are going on the parts board and targeting listings that people reply to... I replied to one of @Skycrest Armory LLC's posts to buy some trigger groups.... The scammer then spoofed his email address (they use a different email but set it up in google to show as "Skycrest Armory LLC" .... They then try to collect payment from me.... Had I not already submitted payment for this, I very likely would have unknowingly submitted payment to the scammer... Screenshot below..... Stay on your toes boys, these foreign scammers will NEVER stop trying to steal our money..

Skycrest Armory LLC Posted December 10, 2022 Report Share Posted December 10, 2022 Thank you for posting this, Aaron. This tactic has been running rampant here over the last few weeks. I know several people that ALMOST fell for it. This goes way beyond Skycrest ads, I have received several requests for payment with other regular poster's names displayed as the email regarding items I inquired about. Stay diligent!

Aaron in Mohnton Pa Posted December 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2022 Yes I did not mean to infer that it was only your ads that this has been happening on. It just so happened to be the one they attempted to get me on. Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skycrest Armory LLC Posted December 10, 2022 Report Share Posted December 10, 2022 Oh yeah, I know, all good! I just wanted to let folks know to be aware that it could be coming under ANY email. I received phony ones twice last month from names I've known on here for a very long time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
