A guy sent me a picture/s with a high price. I told him that was more than I wanted to pay. He came back with a lower price, and I agreed to it. He wanted VERMO for payment. I said I only use pay pal with a "GOODS Purchased". He came back with he had bad experience with Pay Pal and won't use them. So he sent me a picture of a Sheriff's Office Badge with credentials. to make me feel like I could trust him. I called the Sheriffs office in North Carolina and they told me that it was a scam and they have had several people call already. I played along with the guy and told him I would mail him a check for half, and when I get the spotting scope I would send the other half. He agreed and sent me a real address. I gave all that information to the NC Sheriff. But they basically said they would call the local and turn it over to them. Since out of state, nothing they could do. A month later, another scam answering yet another add. I tried to inform the person who runs this website with details, but never heard back. Hoping they would oust him off this site!</blockquote>
