    I posted up a wtb add for Sig MPX and this dude here tried to get me...
    Red flags went up immediately once I recognized the New Jersey (609) area code..they're not allowed to participate in our 2nd amendment right so how the hell does he have a short barrel gun like a sig MPX?none the less I had some time on my hand and figured I'll entertain him.

    I googled his number an bam he's right on top of the list on another gunboard were someone said he got scammed by him..
    Becareful fellas..

    Looks like a Craigslist opportunity to give away some free Pygmy Goats.

    Flip it on him and send it to the NJ State police. He will have to explain that he does not have it and why he was trying to sell what he does not have.

    His English grammar seems off to me. He speaks English as a second language and is spoofing the NJ area code from another country. He was going to try to get you send money via Greendot card or Western Union.

    I had a Nigerian try to scam me while selling a car. God knows how he planned on getting the vehicle. I sold it to another legit buyer, we were heavily armed when he showed up. . They sent a fake cashiers check, it took my (old) bank like a month to tell me it was a fake despite the fact that I brought the check in to my local manager. They make money off from schemes like these, you pay the debt plus interest and a fee for the bounced check. I used my expert research skills to track the criminals down in Nigeria, I used an untraceable phone line and funny enough their IP address led to a cafe in the city they were operating out of, I was able to get the cell numbers location from a cell net provider. The local police were not helpful. I made one final call and let the fella know I knew exactly where he was, he literally lost his ****. He threatened me, and I reminded him that I knew where he lived. It was pretty satisfying.

    No we didn't get that far off in the convo before I had the chance to ask him his BS account ...but from here on out if someone texts me,the first thing I will ask them is what's there name on BS..I usually wait untill the deal is almost done to ask the BS name but not anymore.

    Yeah, and if anyone ever seems sketchy, I have absolutely zero problems looking into their account and letting you/anyone know if their details look sketchy or not. I won't reveal user information, but I can definitely work with what you have and see if any red flags pop up.
