After I was posting a WTB post this is a reply I got. Account is brand new in April, zero post count.
See his last reply below after I asked him to give me his name, location and including my user ID in a picture of the scope.
Just going to leave this right here in the small event he is legit? You decide for yourself?

"Am not trying to be rude but have got my own policy,i do not force people to do transaction with me,why telling me to take a picture of your user id next to the scope,it very simple if you are not okay doing business with me it fine,afterall am not the only seller online,the pictures i sent you are not stock,they are the pictures of my scope,now i sent you the picture of the box which has the serial number,i do not have a facebook page and i told you am going to send you contact info of people have done business with that went successful,you cant tell me taking picture of user id next to scope,that sound bad to me and like i said if you are not comfortable doing a deal with me,you can pass,there are other sellers online.check attached for picture of box with serial number."
 
Its been noted that scammers are frequenting this site looking for WTB ads.
 
300, strangely I just received a PM from kiptip1 less han an hour ago. He was responding to my WTB for a trigger guard. Said he has one to sell, but I replied I just committed to buying one from another forum member, which is the truth. Perhaps I'm over cautious, but I do steer clear of offers to sell or buy from very new members whose posts are mainly buying and selling. not very cool to join a forum for the sole purpose of personal $$$ gain.
 
If it doesn't feel right or something doesn't add up turn and run the other way. I have bought and sold several items on LRH and most here are great people and do what they say they will, and what ever your selling or buying there will always be another one to buy or another buyer will come along, always be cautious.
 
Lack of proper grammar is a giveaway, some poor sap will get scammed by him!

I noticed the grammar also, but it's no indictment of being a scammer. There is a ton of grammar and spelling error seen on forums by well known and trusted members, you just attempt fitting what appears as nonsense together. Far as we know, the person in question has not scammed anyone on this forum yet. I'm personally quite suspicious hearing he possesses the exact items several WTBers are looking for. As previously mentioned, scammers simply register under different names when found out. As the ancient Romans said, "Caveat Emptor".
 
I've had great luck buying and selling here , but everyone needs to be carefull these days.
 
This guy must have everything for sale because I got a response to my wtb as well!
 
Must be **** for brains. The last place I am going to scam someone is a forum for guns and even worse a forum of gun owners who knows how to push the limits of those guns. Would love to do a face to face transaction with these f*** tards.
 
AMEN remy! Could not have said it better myself! This explains the grammatical errors. Thei reelly reely stoopid! LMAO!!! ^^^^TARDS, God bless em
