Due to scammers ....

[Old Gobbler]

(Egg) Members....that is members with zero posts , cannot view the classifieds areas ....

Scammers most of the time have a  zero post count , or 1 or 2 posts

The reason being ...the scammers look at the conversations going on openly and start sending messages to the interested buyers and try to trick our valued members out of $$

We had a scammer (zero post member ) dupe a member out of $350 for a Vest.... pretending to be the person with the add....these scammers are everywhere !!

No friends and family PayPal is allowed here ...only regular paypal guys ...paypal charges a fee for both ...and only regular paypal has protection in case it's a scam

Can add a tip here if you are still mailing checks for any type of payments stop now and go to online bill paying! Last week I mailed a check across town for $80.24 for my local pest service and someone at post office got the check and washed it to a individuals name and and changed the amount to $1,800.24 and it was cashed out of state! I goggled the guys name on the check and he lives in the state the check was cashed and has 15 prior convictions! My bank said they would credit the amount back to my account after I filed a police report, which I have done. Guy at bank said they write off over 10 million in fraud loss a year!

350 dollars is a incredible sum of money in some of these third world countries

I just ...1 hour ago kicked off a scammer  from a Nigerian/africa pserver, ....
The member who got burned got a hold of me and I spent a ton of time trying to explain what had happened.. he had to send me screen shots of his messages to my cell and I POINTED OUT to him that he did not send funds to the ORIGINAL POSTER instead he sent funds to a zero post member pretending to be the person with the Fox Vest


and did so friends and family
Do not ....I repeat ...DO NOT ....USE FRIENDS AND FAMILY PAYPAL ...only "regular " paypal ...
I'm at the point where I am going to run a contest giveaway with prizes or a "bounty " on anyone who will turn in any member asking for friends and family , or other non guaranteed payment service



These con artists are everywhere...they are on face book marketplace selling sika gear ...fishing gear etc...

Must be a issue because I also tried to send OG a message yesterday and I kept getting a error message.

Thanks Shannon this was getting out of hand. Also I might add that I wouldn't buy anything with out a picture that also is getting out of hand. Many sellers on here don't post pics

Thank you for the reminder.  Within the last few weeks, I had someone contact me (an egg) that wanted me to contact someone else about a patternmaster choke that I wanted.  Sad thing is that these guys could have been on the up and up, but having read your rules and horror stories, I didn't bite.  Thank you for helping to keep this site safe for the members.

I hate to say it, but a money order delivered to the seller first might prevent the scams, again only if the seller is known on here and has a high standing with the forum members. It's a shame, but this is where we are at!

Thanks for looking out for us!

I recently fell victim to friends and family scam on another website.

Trusted the person.  Then got toasted for $50 for a safety harness that never arrived.

After that experience I am now jaded and no longer will do the F&F with anyone.

A few bad apples ruin it for everyone.

It's quite bad now, remember PayPal will not cover firearms related items and watch out posting want to buy adds, scammers come out of the woodwork on them!
