Heads up, fellers...other forums have been reporting unusually high incidents of scammer activity. These usually involve the "seller" placing a "too good to be true" ad of a gun or item in the FOR SALE section for an item his "buddy in Texas" (or other state) has and give contact info. The transactions usually involve USPS Money Order, Zelle or cashier's check. It also usually involves new members with few (if any) posts.
Once the "friend" gets the money, that's the last you'll hear of the new member. Generally the schemes involve transactions of under $1000.00 to avoid it being a felony. I have heard nothing about these sorts of activities here on Colt Country, but the big box forums are starting to put the squeeze on these guys so be forewarned; they may be looking for "easy pickings" in smaller forums such as ours. If you feel something is fishy, contact on of the admins or moderators. On a small forum such as this we tend to know our established members quite well and can maybe give some insight to any questions you might have.
