Scammer text from 224-541-0823

[Twoodworth]

Received a text from a scammer today trying to sell me a M2 carbine. He was pretending to be a board member here. What the idiot scammer didn't realize is. I have already delt with the real board member here a few times before and he is a excellent guy to deal with and I had already bought the M2 he was selling last year. 

I have no idea how he got my phone number, that is kind of weird. Here is what the scammer posing as some one else text me.

 

 

Good Evening Tom,

Checking with you regarding the M2 if you’re still in the market for it. I have one available in my inventory on Form 3. Let me know if interested, send me your email once again let’s exchange our FFL and SOT copies also.

Thanks, 

Board members name

 

 

 

Then he sent me this pic of the add I responded to and the following text immediately.

 

 

"Are you still interested??"

 

 

Be careful guys these people are relentless on the scams they are trying to pull.

Yep. I just got a message from that number looking to sell me an MK760 bolt.

He's still active, he sent me a text to my number (from a prior listing), pretending to be a seller I posted "I'll take it" under. I bet that's the phrase he searches too.

I'm assuming they texted you due to you giving out your phone.. don't do that. PM the seller or buyer your phone # so the whole world won't know.
