    The username on one of those posts seems familar like I have seen him on BS.........

    Also seems like one of the posts is the same guy ratting himself out unless someone created a similar username to rat the orginal guy out.

    That guy has been a member since 20 hours ago. I'll bet it was the "created a similar username" option.

    Another reason why I tell everyone to join bayoushooter.com, the premiere LA gun site. No need to go anywhere else locally. Some of the best people I know are on here. From SWAT guys to the neighbor down the road.

    There is bad apples on most all sites. Two members here I will not deal with for similar reasons. BUT, I have had mostly Great interactions with members of Bayoushooters.

    Username is a combo of the names he’s used to hide himself, done to mock him I’d guess, let him know he’s been busted.

    Thanks for the heads up ... seems like pre-payment with a cash app or with bitcoin are words to watch out for .

    Several years ago when I was offshore one guy from Turkey creek was telling a story about how his old neighbor sent 3K money order for a pretty nice tractor...

    To be delivered with attachments to Turkey Creek....Old boy is probably dead by now waiting on the tractor.....

    Some scammers are even asking for payment via gift cards, Western Union, and pre-paid cards like Green Dot. I have been playing games with these creeps since 2011 with a couple of fake email accounts. They will pretend to be dealers or private sellers who can ship to your favorite shop after you pay. A host of excuses are made for why they can’t meet you in person.
    Some of them are so desperate that they will tolerate insults in an effort to get your money. They also don’t pay any attention to the name of the firearm. For example, on ARMSLIST, I have often stated off with: *Piece of $hit, I want to buy your Colt SnakeCock revolting pistol.* Many of them are foreigners who speak English as a 2nd language, so that makes it a lot more fun!
