Report Scam in AH Classifieds

Be aware guys, the scammers are on GB now too. Had a buddy just win an auction and the guy wanted payment through velle or venmo only and it was going to a different person. Buddy reported it to GB, but know that it is going on there as well.
I recently sold two items on GB and IIRC, direct payments like PP, Venmo, etc. are against the gunbroker rules for sellers.
 
That is what I read also. Its a good thing, as it keeps Uncle Sam from having a wandering eye into transactions that they can look to collect tax on.
 
I received a PM for a Wanted post I listed yesterday. Seemed weird the way he said to reach out to someone else via email. I Googled the email address and saw others reporting the emailer as a Scam. The price is obviously a little too good to be true.

Well, sir, I am mighty impressed with the quality of the shell cordovan belt. I have several pairs of shoes that are shell cordovan, but had balked at paying over half that price for just a belt. Wouldn't be surprised if this belt doesn't last the rest of my life--for its color application. It sure is a universe removed from the cheaply constructed yet expensive stuff being put out there. Worth the price I paid.
getting ready for a 5 day sable hunt!
