Hide members BEWARE

[beenjammin]

Guys it has come to my attention that this posting is advertising a rifle that is not his. If you email him for pictures he wills end you pics of the TRG at my house. I dont know if he even has a TRG for sale, but his price is also too good to be true. Beware of a scam. I know his pics are not legit because I took them....

Not only can you not have nice shit. You can't even take pictures of your nice shit.

Re: Hide members BEWARE

I contacted the seller on armslist and then recognized the pics that he sent me as ones I had seen on the hide. I connected Beenjammin to confirm, which he did.

The email address of the dude that sent the pics is

[email protected] aka wolfee man.

This is his ad too, also believed to be a scam...

Re: Hide members BEWARE

Please note that I'm sill holding out hope that a decent precision rifle can be had for less than what my left nut is worth. But alas this particular deal was too good to be true.

Dubgunner is the one who noticed it was the same pics I posted a few days ago. Im glad he was quick to ask me before someone sent this guy funds.

Armslist is constantly full of Scams. I've seen two Guncrafter 1911's in the last couple days for under $1K

Re: Hide members BEWARE

What's the deal with Armslist? The only time I've ever heard of them was regarding scams. Is there any reason they seem to be full of scams?
Thanks.

Re: Hide members BEWARE

I too have checked into 2 different listings on Armslist and both posts appeared too good to be true, a SigP220 Combat, new for $600 and a FN SPR A2 new with a scope, rings, base etc. for $1200 shipped.
All the pics appeared to be stock factory or gun show pics. It was the same guy I posed questions to and he could not answer any of them or provide any more pics, etc.
BEWARE- [email protected].
His name is Sam Farah, not even a US citizen scamming out of California.
Called BATF with all the info. I had gathered and they just blew me off, because there was no actual gun involved.
Local PD blew me off, said they were actually aware of the scam but did not know how to put a sting together. WTF.
I had both of them listed as scams.
Armslist, buyer beware.
