I love hearing stories of people messing with scammers. And if you dont have cash in hand when we meet, we aint dealing lol. I had a guy try to offer me money over cash app. No thanks...

Looks like a dedicated scammer took the time to reach out to a semi-hid number. I don’t think anyone would fall for this but surprisingly, we get a few a year.

Sad people fall for that.

I don't even screen new user requests anymore, waste of my time.

This is exactly why I never post anything for sale.

Lol I'm not that patient he would have gotten the old FU the second message

……I didn’t even have the patience to read through the message string.

Thanks for the heads-up. I had posted a few years back that I was looking for a certain gun. Had two people with Michigan area codes contact me and neither had any history with OSA which screamed scammer to me.

I never put my phone # in adds. Always use PMs initially until a deal is agreed upon, then I exchange numbers.

I see so many members posting their phone numbers in publicly open adds and I’m not sure if they realize they’re opening a huge door for potential scammers

Some scammer sent me a check in a certified mail envelope.
I told him the rain ruined it and to send another one and he did.

Took the first one to my bank and they could not confirm if it was real or fake but said after a 3 day hold in my account they would be able to tell.

Yea that was not going into my account.
But the fool did send another one and that cost him money and time.
I never sent him anything.

I used to get them off Craigslist ads. I used to get them to send the check to the local police station, made them waste their resources to mail fake checks,
