Nice rifle, I'm sorry you saw it before me! A versatile caliber, enjoy it !

 

[JJoseph]

Thanks. Looking forward to getting it. I would like to ask some of the more experienced forum members about weird direct messages asking me to contact the seller via email. They are not from the originall poster. From new accounts with zero posts. Kind of odd.

Scammers. Stay in direct contact with the original poster. Anyone else should be reported.

 

[JJoseph]

That’s what I figured. Just wanted see if that was something unique to me or if this had happened to others.

Been an ongoing issue from scammers, never respond to someone via email that you get unsolicited. Only use direct PMs via AH when buying something like this to protect yourself

That happened to me recently concerning 375 caliber bullets--maddening. Always contact original poster to verify imposters!

SCAMMERS SUCK!!!!!! Be careful out there!

 

[Wishfulthinker580]

I’ve been watching for the original poster to be a scammer. Fits the typical pattern. I wouldn’t trust the OP one bit.

Couple year old account, zero posts until recently and then a barrage of them, no introduction, posted a classified ad almost immediately.

SCAMMER!!!!! THE OP IS THE SCAMMER!

@JJoseph

Might have @BRICKBURN check his address but I wouldn’t trust it even if it shows he’s in the US.

 

[JJoseph]

Appropriate steps have been taken. Hopefully it works out. Thanks.

What's going on here?

 

[MontanaPat]

Sounds like either someone has hacked your account or they are simply trying to scoop up your buyer and scam them by directing them to do the deal via email and not through AH using PM communications

What's going on here?

What’s going on is there is a 99.999999% chance you’re a scammer. At the same time there are 100% scammers messaging the interested party (perhaps to give you an air of legitimacy). Two things can be true at once. What I know for a fact is you wouldn’t be getting $1200 from me…..

I haven’t even been on AH much at all recently and spotted your sketchy posting pattern.

Interesting to note that the OP both currently has and doesn’t currently have a .458 Winchester Magnum on September 27th of this year.

 

[leslie hetrick]

that would be a very nice rifle at a very good price, if true. i guess you could roll the dice and pay the price, but not i.

 

[Wishfulthinker580]

Crickets.. the silence is deafening.

 

[JJoseph]

Hunting. Will post with final outcome good or bad.

I would insist on a video call with the seller holding the rifle and take a screenshot of him while doing it.
