I see you’ve got your post count/reaction score ran up thanks mostly to the “on a lighter note” thread and you’ve limited who can view your info/posts. All that fits a pattern and throws up some major red flags.

I distinctly remember saying you’d be posting a sale ad not long after you joined in January..

I hope you’re legit and I’ll apologize if I’m wrong. May want to proactively jump through some hoops to prove you’re on the up and up.

I bought this rifle and have sent proof of payment to seller. I mailed a USPS money order as requested today. I note that he has not listed as SPF or otherwise. I had difficulty in getting Chaplin on a phone conversation. I banked on the AH Veteran status and the picture dated with his username and rifle in picture one . I was looser than normal on my due diligence and that's on me. Chaplin initially would only text but ultimately we had a short phone call. That's where things got more inconsistent. He seemed very uncomfortable and knew nothing about the rifle. However he had given me what appeared to be pretty specific information via DM's about ammo preference etc. I specifically asked if the rifle had the twist to stabilize 100gr bullets. It could be that the seller was using the internet to find answers I'm not sure. So when @Wishfulthinker580 posted the above post I started sweating bullets. I asked seller what he would do to clear his name and he said he had asked the mod to remove the post. The only way we will know if this guy is legit is if my rifle shows up after payment. Until then my recommendation would be to not purchase from him. If this seems unfair then Chaplain should take this opportunity to clear his name. I have copy of money order if Mods need it via DM. I prefer to think the best of folks but there is reason for concern here. Thanks.

I sincerely hope I’m wrong and your rifle shows up! I hate it when these situations come up.

I have banned Chaplin until this situation is cleared up.

The 1st clue it's a scam is when they ask for a USPS money order.
If you're lucky, the receiving postmaster might be sympathetic and intercept it for you. You'd probably have to file a fraud complaint 1st, but you have to act fast.

Are you serious? Forgive me, I am a scammer!

 

[vlwtx348]

100 % serious. I will never ask for nor send a USPS money order. Besides the scamming risks, it's a pain to cash one. If you live in town your experience may vary. I can send a check or deposit one from the comfort of my home. Might be 2 weeks or more before I can get to the post office between the hours of 9 and 3 (and closed for lunch) to buy a MO.

 

[sestoppelman]

I send and receive PO m/o's all the time, my preferred payment for my listings on GB, my bank cashes them.
Small town, close to the PO, I go in right after lunch and usually the only one there, do my thing and gone.
I certainly have never looked at them as scammers choice!

YOU are very correct sir! The scammers choice is electronic funds, IE why most are moving to PMO or even personal check from trusted folks.

Sir, everything you stated has NOTHING to do with scamming, just personal comfort to YOU! You are spreading propaganda!

 

[woodsman1991]

Hate to tell you but I think he's a scammer. I PM'd him asking a few simple questions about the rifle and got zero response.

I didn't know a bank would cash them? I thought one had to go to a post office to cash them to make sure they weren't counterfeit? Good to know.

 

[jduckhunter]

In case anyone is really interested in buying an M77 MK2 in 6MM Rem. I currently have one for sale. It's on consignment at a local gun shop at the moment, but if anyone is interested, I will get it back and post some photos. $900 sounds about right.

Looking like a consensus here to me!

Just like a cashier check, but better in my opinion!

Really sad, they are everywhere in great numbers.
