0369usmc66 Posted November 22, 2023 Report Share Posted November 22, 2023 I sold my two FN's so I don't need this case of FN Mags. It's a sealed case of 10 mags dated 10/63. $625.00 shipped and insured. The last three of these I've seen sell on GB for 700+, 800+ and over 1000. I took pictures of all six sides to show that it sealed and unopened. USPS money order will ship instantly. Personal check or cashiers check will be a 5 business days hold.

Fnforme Posted November 23, 2023 Report Share Posted November 23, 2023 (edited) Gents, this is 100% a scammer. Not sure if this is a legit account that was hacked or not but it is a scammer. The guy texted me to pay him with zelle to his wife. Luckily, she was not a registered user. He then tell me to zelle him and it was a different last name. First warning bell...old buzzers collecting 60's vintage FAL stuff do not have progressive wives not taking their last name. I tried calling and it was a google voice number. He tells me can't talk because he has no cell service and sends me a generic old white guy photo and a generic picture of a badge saying I could trust him because he's a cop. Deptarment on badge was in a different state than this user's profile. I demanded he call and when someone did it was a Nigerian with a thick African accent and no command of English. I asked how the weather is in Lagos and he hung up. Edited November 23, 2023 by Fnforme 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YOU posted your telephone number in a very old post ….. the real scammer found your number and pretended to be the seller ….. you allowed the scammer to contact you .

Fnforme Posted November 23, 2023 Report Share Posted November 23, 2023 Wow, my apologies and consider this a full retraction of the above if that's what happened. The elaborate lengths to which scammers will go never ceases to amaze me. I'd never defame a good man so my profound apologies to the seller.

0369usmc66 Posted November 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2023 My terms of sale clearly said usps money order or check. I never said anything about an electronic form of payment. You sent me a pm and I returned my response with a pm I never called you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0369usmc66 Posted November 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2023 I can only assume from the torch job this guy gave me that he has no intention of following through with the deal. Conversely I have no desire to deal with him. The mags are still for sale. I'm not a Nigerian scammer but a retired Marine. I retired in 2012 with a medical discharge from injuries sustained from an IED in Helmund province Afghanistan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
