SCAM happening??

I'm buying a choke tube from a member here. All is good on the tube. I asked how best to make payment and he requested PayPal. Then I received payment information TWICE with two different emails. So I asked which one to use and the same thing happened. Two messages with two different emails. Looking closer, I see that the screen names are the same except the first letter is a capital on one and not on the other. Like this, joeblow3 and Joeblow3.
I'm pretty sure which one is trying to scam us, but until I'm sure, I'm waiting. I have pm'd Shannon about this and am waiting for his reply. Amazing how someone would work so hard for $45.

Tail Feathers

Can a Paypal account have two emails associated with it?  Probably not, but I don't know for sure.  You are wise to be cautious.
Love to hunt the King of Spring!

Typical scam/hacker tactic. Get you to commit to a bogus address and then hack you. The original poster may not know that someone attached his email. Z

Shannon, I sent you a private message earlier this morning.

Okay ..I'm posting this for the benefit of EVERYONE

Common trick ...a zero poster creates a fake account, and it has a subtle change that most won't notice ...like a period after it , a capital letter change

That account was deleted just now

Second observation upon looking in the original real accounts profile ..any many many more like it ....this is a turkey hunting forum , the classifieds are a feature created to benefit the members to sell , buy or exchange goods ...it(the classifieds ) I created the site to help you guys and help call makers ...is not intended to be a second eBay ...

I understand this is a great place to sell stuff ...don't abuse it ...when I look into a members account and every single post , and I mean every single post is SELLING stuff . Well guess what come spring time those people that only have interest in selling stuff and not chipping in and that's about all ...are in for a BIG surprise

Strange re:Username. Just tried on login with my bank...whether upper or lower case on username doesn't matter...PW case sensitive. I guess I thought that was the same with all banks, web sites etc. So joeblow3 and JOEBLOW3 should be the same person.
