One never knows these days where and email actually comes from.  I would not jump to conclusions about who, if anybody, has been hacked.

I contacted them through GB after a PM conversation. Scammer was insisting I send immediate payment by Zelle, Venmo, or Cashapp or he would sell to the next in line. Then offered for me to pay half up front and half on receiving. Classic scam tactics to try and get you to send some money. Also...I've not met anyone on here who isn't up for a quick phone call for verification. I know they list quite a bit, so that's why I reached out through an alternate channel to confirm.

Also, take a look at the recent posts for the Garand, Mk18 upper, and Colt SBR. Posted the same pics and text 10x times to cover up my post on it being a scam account.

Now confused. Was it Sturm or GB ?

Sturm would be very responsive, not so much for GB.

I see now that the Sturm gods have acted.

PM through Strum, scammer was very pushing and insisted on immediate payment or would sell to someone else. Unwilling to talk on the phone or otherwise verify. The legitimate account owner posts on GB as well, so I reached out to them by asking a question on one of their items & got the response that they were compromised.

No, we got hacked. 
 

Which makes me wonder how they did it. My username and password was old, from back before the board change. Haven’t logged into Sturm from any public devices, so don’t know where the compromise would have come from. Apple saves username and password but supposedly they are pretty secure.
