What?
I posted a WTB thread and this guy created an account on here just to message me about a gun he has. Then when I asked him to send details about the gun through the forum’s inbox he refused and only want to go through his personal email. He’s never posted before and doesn’t sound like he contributes to the forums and refusal to answer basic questions on here is a red flag for me. Just thought others would know.
If a member or transaction seems suspicious, pass on it. Conduct all communications through an archived medium, and ensure that you are sending to a real person with a verified name and real address. Also, avoid sellers in the EE that are relatively new members, with low post counts and no productive participation. If you do otherwise, it's on you.
I did some digging, and traced the dude back to Lagos, Nigeria.
He's probably not planning to send you the nice FN products you wanted to buy. He's now permanently banned, too.
Thanks for the heads up. Like ST911 says, always trust your gut. I passed on a S&W Model 19 last week, and the guy turned out to be a crook, just like I thought.
