Fraud Alert!!!!

[Inverse Firearms]

To all,

We are re-posting the below message because someone has been scammed by someone impersonating us.  In short, we do not send out unsolicited emails and never ask for payment to be sent to anyone but us at our premise address in Dayton, Ohio.  ALWAYS feel free to pick up the phone and verify who you are talking with.  We live in an age of scammers and we want you to call us before sending out any money! You can can call me direct at (937) 470-7466. 

Please note that someone is trying to impersonate Inverse Inc. buy using an email similar to ours.  This scammer emails you once you publicly post your contact information under our ad(s) or the ads of others selling on this site.  The fictitious email being used in our case is inversefiream@gmail.com.  Our legitimate email is inversefirearms@gmail.com.  They are very similar but different; note the missing "s" in "firearms".  Please be careful with all your transactions and make sure the person corresponding with you is who you think they are by verifying emails, addresses, phone numbers, etc..  Make sure the email used to send you information is from the person you think you are dealing with.

We ask that you do not post under our ads, please just contact us directly.  

Thanks,

Trent Warncke, President

Inverse Firearms

Bottom line, it is not a good idea to post your e-mail address in a reply to an ad.  Here are some reasons:

• It signals your intent to a potential scammer - They know exactly what you want, and where to send you their request for payment
• They may appear to have a similar address to the person who posted the ad...Just think about how easy it is to get a free, customized e-mail address - This can be done anywhere in the world
• It's poor etiquette...You should be reaching out to the seller, not asking them to contact you
• You should contact the seller using the PM feature, or through their e-mail address directly, without posting your e-mail in a reply to their original ad for all to see

A buyer should always speak to the seller.  Vet them out.  Be appropriately cautious before you send out hundreds, or thousands of dollars.  Never wire money...Never, ever.  Do not send funds via Moneygram.  Once you speak to the person, and are comfortable that they do not appear to be a scammer, check their address and contact information.  Check their FFL address against the ATF database.  Check their address on Google Street View, and see if it appears valid.  Visit them, and see the gun in person, especially if it's very expensive.  If the deal is too good, or anything doesn't feel right, walk away.  Don't get greedy.  If the deal is too good, there's a problem.

[straightgrain]

They are still at it. Tried to play with "Cheryl Abernathy" of Terre Haute for a bit yesterday.

[NFAscout]

Trent,

You should try to tie up any similar sounding email addresses. Maybe if you explain the scam to Gmail they will shut this clown down?

[EasyEnough]

Using a Gmail for a business is exceedingly unprofessional. You should use your web host mail, its much harder to spoof a domain than a user name.

[happyswitch]

I have to agree with Easyenough, a gmail account should not be used for business. Register your domain name and add an outlook email account with it. Probably cost less than $100 per year through godaddy or a similar company.

I dont do business with companies that use public free email services like aol, hotmail, yahoo, gmail...etc, especially ones that need a lot of background info on me to make a purchase.

I'm glad you are trying to inform others of the scam but you aren't doing enough to protect your brand by using a free email service.

Just my $0.02

Edited August 20, 2018 by happyswitch

[CarlosDJackal]

They're still at it.  Received the following message today.  My guess is they are trying to probe for someone to respond to see who they can still scam.  Notice the extra "r" in the e-mail address?

8 . M1 Garand Match in 7.62 built by Vince Jiga - $1000

Vince Jiga built this rifle for me several years ago as I wanted a 7.62 M1 that could compete.

Vince went through a great deal of his parts (he built over 250 correct M1s for his OWN collection) to select the best parts to build this rifle.  All of these parts are specifically selected & the receiver is bedded in.  

Vince used to run Camp Perry & built the original Crane order of SPR uppers when we first sent SpecOps into Afghanistan.  Cancer killed Vince, my close friend, & I then had several heart & kidney operations including cracking my chest.  When I finally decided I could do the rifle justice I took it to the range.   I could see light through the small rear aperture  but not even the front sight.  My eyes can now only see through a scope.   !! DAMN !!

This rifle deserves better than me.  It needs a home with a skilled Shooter.  I doubt if a master shooter can find a more competitive M1.

[Sienna Armory]

Just caught a scammer in the act on Frank's board at MGC.  He had an AC556 posted for $8500.  He refused to send any copies of Forms for verification and finally sent a heavily-redacted Form 4.  The problem is that the serial number on the Form 4 didn't match the serial number on the "original box" in the pictures of the gun.  He sent me a copy of "his" FFL, which I googled, got the phone number, contacted, and asked if they had any machine guns for sale.

"no, sir, we are not an NFA dealer."

Filled in the owner of this FFL on the situation and he is now in touch with his local ATF and Sheriff's Office.

Scammer info is as follows:

email:  clkfirearms@hotmail.com
phone:  910-479-5640
no name provided, communicates via text, will not answer a phone call

He deleted the ad on MGC yesterday afternoon after he started texting with me about the gun.

Guys, received the email via forward yesterday. After some back and forth I got concerned and started doing some more research finding a similar email posted above. This is clearly a scam so watch out for Buford Fletcher.

Got another email today from the fraudster they are still kicking

[ATT-Tactical]

I am amazed at the veracity. This scam must be working otherwise why bother. With the rash of 7/2's starting up all over the county, I wonder just how many of them are being taken-in by this dedicated group. The prospects of so many No-Law-Letter guns coming on the market would be an indication of economic downturn.  Has anyone actually heard from a licensee being scammed by one of these e-mail fraudsters?

> M1 Garand Match in 7.62 built by Vince Jiga - $1000 Vince Jiga built this rifle for me several years ago as I wanted a > 7.62 M1 that could compete. Vince went through a great deal of his parts (he built over 250 correct M1s for his OWN collection) to select the best parts to build this rifle.  All of these parts are specifically selected & the receiver is bedded in.  Vince used to run Camp Perry & built the original Crane order of SPR uppers when we first sent SpecOps into Afghanistan.  Cancer killed Vince, my close friend, & I then had several heart & kidney operations including cracking my chest.  When I finally decided I could do the rifle justice I took it to the range.  I could see light through the small rear aperture  but not even the front sight.  My eyes can now only see through a scope.  !! DAMN !! This rifle deserves better than me.  It needs a home with a skilled Shooter.  I doubt if a master shooter can find a more competitive M1

[Bwana]

SCAM ALERT.

Here's scammer info. Backstory: a user on Machinegunboards site posted a contact number for a seller with a Swedish K parts kit. MG Board user supposedly bought a barrel from the scammer. I contact and seller has kit for $1200. He sends pics by text. I pass on kit. He has "another kit" for $800. Hard luck story about kids Christmas presents.. Ok I'm interested.  Send pics. I get pics by text. Sure, I will buy. He wants payment via PayPal "friends". Ok. I ask for a pic of the kit ON TOP OF a piece of paper with my name and today's date on it. I get story that I'm at my kid's house but here's pics of me and all my license info. I get pics with a selfie of someone holding up a DL and more with pics of a DL, Mass concealed carry and passport card of same person (all probably lifted off the internet or past scams). Hmmm. I Google pics of Swedish K parts kits and find his pics come from a 2019 post by Gorgon selling a kit on the 1919A4 site. The email he wanted for the PayPal payment is:  rnabwire495@gmail.com with name (supposedly wife) of Ruth Barasa.

Requesting a picture of the item on top of the paper has never failed me. Be careful out there!

I received a message on here in regards to a WTB ad I posted for a Colt M16A1 barrel. His user name is  DwayneT and he sent the following:

"Contact Derek in Michigan he has one for sale, he his trustworthy with his business, info for serious buyers only. derekrjason21@gmail.com "

 

His profile shows he joined here December 1st.  Odd message and guessing a possible scammer.

On 11/29/2016 at 5:50 PM, David Albert said:

Bottom line, it is not a good idea to post your e-mail address in a reply to an ad.  Here are some reasons:

• It signals your intent to a potential scammer - They know exactly what you want, and where to send you their request for payment
• They may appear to have a similar address to the person who posted the ad...Just think about how easy it is to get a free, customized e-mail address - This can be done anywhere in the world
• It's poor etiquette...You should be reaching out to the seller, not asking them to contact you
• You should contact the seller using the PM feature, or through their e-mail address directly, without posting your e-mail in a reply to their original ad for all to see

A buyer should always speak to the seller.  Vet them out.  Be appropriately cautious before you send out hundreds, or thousands of dollars.  Never wire money...Never, ever.  Do not send funds via Moneygram.  Once you speak to the person, and are comfortable that they do not appear to be a scammer, check their address and contact information.  Check their FFL address against the ATF database.  Check their address on Google Street View, and see if it appears valid.  Visit them, and see the gun in person, especially if it's very expensive.  If the deal is too good, or anything doesn't feel right, walk away.  Don't get greedy.  If the deal is too good, there's a problem.

[Greasegunner]

Here is what scammers are doing

When something sells , the scammer spoofs the screen name of the seller and contacts the buyer seeking money

 

Advice- Never send any funds to anyone except to whom is on the NFA form 3 or 4 and not to any other address either

I have seen  phony form 4s where the scammer was too stupid to change the serial number on the stamp so it didnt match the 

gun the scammer was trying to get money for !!

[Bill in Bama]

I've been "hacked" if that is the proper term for what is happening.  I've had two buyers contact me about purported sales I am making to them.  I received a phone call a couple of weeks ago from someone who thought something was off so he decided to call me.  The scammer had copies of my FFL/SOT and the sale was about to go through but the buyer wisely did some checking.

Then Thursday a buyer I know emailed me to check out a pending sale of a suppressor.  He sent me the email thread with his "seller" for a Burgess suppressor that I've never had in my inventory.  Everything looked legit except the email address for the "seller" was a yahoo instead of gmail account.  The scammer asked for payment to be sent to an address not associated with me, so , thankfully the buyer contacted me directly before sending funds.

I don't know how these scammers (or maybe one guy) got my FFL and SOT but should I contact AFT about this?  I'm sure federal laws have been broken but have no idea if the guy can be caught, or is even in the US.

 

[MP5]

I think there's a scammer using the name David Christoper and the email davidchristopher@onmail.com   He is trying to sell a gun listed here on Sturmgewehr.com to ......... he has a partial serial number of the gun and a heavily redacted copy of the existing Form 3. Beware.

That property is valued at less than $40,000.  Also odd, definitely a rough part of town.  

The phone number he texted me on is a 224-541-0823 which is an Illinois area code.  Not adding up.  I asked him to send me a picture of the back of the bolt to confirm he’s actually in possession of the 22 kit.  Only wants paypal or Money order.  No certified check.
