Report Scam in AH Classifieds

I just had an interaction with this user who responded to a WTB ad I placed for a Blaser R8 barrel.

Luckily I had just purchased a complete rifle and my need was no longer there. Suggest that he is shut down ASAP.

This number called me to buy a M77, the rifle and member he's trying to scam has the 220 swift listed for sale. Be aware and admin put this where it needs to go! I'm so sick of the scams here, it makes doing any deal fishy unless you know them or have had transactions in the past.

He called me and ask if I was ready to proceed. And I knew right then it was a scam, I ask what caliber and he was fumbled lol. I'll go back and find the OP in a few. And let you know all info I have.

Boredrill had a Ruger #1 in 45-70 for sale. I DM'd him asking him to call me which he did, I told him that I wasn't interested in the scope and he immediately lowered the price to $800.00 which set me back a bit, hell of a deal ? Asked him where he lived, he said FLA. his area code was for LA. Would only take cashiers check or electronic payment. I backed out. But almost fell for another scam, again.

Another scam...

Just a heads up on another scam. I have a "wanted" listing on here (for a Contender barrel in 45 Colt). I got a PM from someone telling me his buddy has one for sale and gave me his email address. The PM has since disappeared - somehow.

So I send this dipshit - Willy Vargason - an email asking about his barrel. His response made it immediately apparent that it was a scam - poor grammar, description of items from someone who obviously doesn't know guns, etc.

Just an FYI. His email is willyvargasonjrb17@gmail.com.

Willy Vargason sounds like a porn star name.
 
I got a message yesterday from a member asking if I take PayPal with no other inquiry, however the account had no messages or reactions in 5 years. Reported it.

All I can say to people on both ends of a transaction is to pick up the phone. I’ve done a bit of buying and selling here recently and everyone that I’ve talked to has been great. I’ve gotten the heebies from folks on other sites before, but you can generally ascertain that in short order with a call.
 
My rule for classifieds. You won’t talk on phone no deal, selling or buying.


Also if anyone ever sees a classified ad with my name on it and it doesn’t look or sound right. Text or call me! Most of you have my number

Dave, I could use both of them if still available. I just picked up a new .22 mag and a .22 pump that they would be perfect on.
