Guy got my number from armslist, said he was in texas, text messages and sent a pic of his photo id, and sent me a link to his youtube account, all without being asked to. I found that suspicious.
Days go by and he was sensing a certified check, which I didn’t want, but told him it would take 14-21 business days to fully clear(that is what my bank said), He wanted to send me money to purchase a firearm from a neighboring town, i told him “no way, i do not get mixed up with someone else’s transactions” he agreed. Check was supposed to show up one day, he was blowing up my phone with idle chit chat. I also found it odd as i was not engaging much. So i had a gut feeling, tracked the tracking number for the check, said it was coming from cali, huge red flag.
So he texts me right then that the amount was for way more than we agreed on, so i could zelle this other dude the money for the gun i told him i will NOT be a part of.
It goes quiet, and guess what! The check never shows. Not sure how you fake tracking, but it was...
