Posted with pm sent on an item in the classifieds. Was hit up immediately by this scammer. Already reported his ass.

The SH account that sent the PM with paypal info isn't the same SH account that was selling the rifle. The scammer's hope is that you'll send the money without checking the account details.
This one was pretty sloppy. Often they will create a SH account with a handle that is very similar to the seller's, but with a period or space in it so you have to really look to notice (eg. "Rustyinbend" instead of "rustyinbend" to spoof your account to a potential buyer).
Best way to be sure you don't get taken is to click on the username of the PM sender, then check their post history to verify they are the same user that posted the "for sale" ad. Do that for every purchase before you send $.
