I got the same email a few months back when try to buy a pair of overalls. I made Shannon aware and he did what he could but I suppose a$$holes are going to find a way to keep on.

Make sure you let Shannon know, that way he can be banned under that name as well.

I agree. Some spambot has gotten ahold of my cell number and I've received more BS texts in the last six weeks since I was required to start carrying a cell phone in about '96.

Same one tried to sell me a barrel for an 870, I asked for a picture and they sent a Snipped pic off the internet.

I had a very similar situation but from two different acct names but clearly the same person doing it.


Scammer Accts: bafoyo4859
Scammer Accts: ThespinDotor


The scammer is sending his own email and phone numbers from accts saying things like...

From: bafoyo4859

Hey, you can reach the seller via his cell below for a fast response. He gave me his number the last time I contacted him concerning the listing for sale.

+1 501 387 0421

-----------------------

Also sent from: ThespinDotor

Hello, pm Paul on his gmail below he has a few trumpet calls available for sale.

whiteheadpaul34@gmail.com

... When asked for pictures they were photoshopped


I have pictures and screenshots that I can provide to you via email
