Title: Beware of classifieds scammers ... details in post
Post by: Old Gobbler on March 06, 2022, 03:40:49 PM
Guys , be extremely wary of folks (usually 0 post or the like) messaging you wanting to sell then redirecting you to another email etc...

Never buy anything from a low post member

If it's too good to be true ...it is

Thanks Shannon

Usually I know someone that has what you are looking for and gives an email address. Look at their profile and has 0 or 1 post

Couldn't cut it in the big league of scammers? They've got to resort to a turkey hunting forum? Pathetic.

Thanks for the warning!

A muzzleloading forum I'm on now makes it mandatory you need to have a piece of paper with the date and your handle in the picture of what your selling. A traditional archery forum I'm on is over run with scammers too. It's a shame. I get phone calls all the time from scammers about Medicare part C and also selling solar panels.

I'm a taxidermist and have to answer my phone. I got tired of it. Now I'm Ramesh Patel and in my best Indian accent, I mess with them. I get cussed out sometimes. Lol
