Most recently trying to sell a DLO trigger pack. Photos from an old posting, refused verification, multiple names used, etc. The Sturm account was previously listed as being a deadbeat buyer.

Sturm name: drjjpdc 

This is a scam. Said he had a knight’s CQB upper and when asked for a time stamped photo he sends me a different upper in the photo. When asked why he says he has two uppers and changed his mind on selling the first. Also saying things like “god bless”, but then getting hostile in our texts when I called him out.

Sturm name: Adrian Garces

He has good feedback from other members. Has listed items and bought items in the past. Paid him $2050 for a Knoght’s CQB and have received no further communication so I’m assuming his account has been hacked or the two members who have given positive feedback are also in on it. It’s a shame this forum is turning into such a terrible place for the community.

Saferunner is 100% a scammer 

I have a wtb ad up 

saferunner contacted me using pictures and wording from an ad that was on here two years ago 

his “location” is Louisiana and his “phone number” is from Las Vegas 

the phone number is allegedly a business line but nothing comes up when you google the number and when you call it it says this user is unavailable 

when he called me it sounded like he was using an app or translator  

 

last, when I asked for pictures of his drivers license against the form four he sent wiring info for his bank account instead

Username Nordel

Email address normanjrdelane@gmail.com

Will try to get you to send paypal payment to nicholasjaybusiness@gmail.com

 

New user acct messaged directly on a WTB post of mine.  Sent several photos and when reverse image searched it comes up as an old auction house listing.

 

Asked for photo of his identification card with the items for sale, and it is a very poorly AI generated photo with misspelled or illegible words on the identification card.

 

USERS BEWARE.

Account under the name Bloodhound out of Nevada is a suspected fraud or the account has been hacked. Has some feedback and seems to have posts. Responded to a WTB posting for an MP40 parts kit. Sent me a link to photos but they are hosted on Imgur, which is odd. I asked for better photos along with a piece of paper with my screen name and date written on it but has not responded. Very strange.

We can add Username "afloater" to the list. Got to me for just over $500 re: my WTB add for an MP40 mag loader (and mag cleaning brush he indicated he also had for sale, posting what turned out to be an old WorthPoint photo of the two items together)

Admittedly, I ignored/he smoothed over any number of red flags (the guy is pretty good at his "job"!) 

Live, learn & be smarter next time, right?

Best,

Skip

I suspect that Sturm user Garlbird78 is a scammer. He answered a WTB post for MP40 parts. Wanted me to message another individual account name Rover1992 and email Trewhearts15@gmail.com.

Same.  He just answered my WTB ad for some mags, referenced Rover1992, and provided a scammer email address to contact Rover1992.
