Scammers are Out there Protect Yourselves

[Lowlight]

Guys,

The scammers are out there, they are bouncing IP addresses to hide their location

Look at email addresses, if you never heard it, be careful.

They almost always refer to a woman, wife etc doing something for them.

Get details, get a PHONE NUMBER to confirm they are US Based and not using a drop

We have shored up our registered manually checking accounts and ban a lot each day, but some slip through the cracks

User Names can be a red flag too, If the email address matches the username I will ban them if they look odd, but that is another red flag

They have a system to trick you out of either sending product or money, you need to do your homework as all we can do is ban the account

I did not know email addresses matching username was a flag. Mine match.

In any case, thank you for the heads up.

Well shit, I’m guilty of a couple of these sometimes. Including selling this guy ^ a scope that had a different reticle than I listed it as because I didn’t double check a trade in. Time to tighten up I guess.

Glad I slipped through on the e mail address user name thing. LOL.

Take the whole statement in context. " if they look odd".
I see them often as requests for membership - xxxrt90s username with an email of [email protected] using a proxy server or an IP from India typically doesn't get far.

By the same token, BullridingDude88 with an email address of [email protected] doesn't get much traction either.
