Might as well send cash! Postal M O have no security at all. Nearly lost $ on scope scam. Deleted all pics & conversations. Thanks to the guys on this website, I was able to contact the guy's father & got my $ back.
I think I’ve been scammed by snipercl

I was thinking perhaps a box full of fish guts and Limburger cheese could be in order accompanied by a nice note.Well simple search verified the address and name. Age 65? Sounds more like a son/grandson using grandparents as stooge. But their tel number readily available. Maybe "polite" telephone call to see what the heck is going on?

The few dishonest buyers/sellers that have abused this site not only hurt the member affected, but they make everyone else more hesitant to enter into transactions.
It's good to see when everyone pitches in to help the member who got scammed. Some of the guys here are unbelievably resourceful and have been very helpful in providing ideas and methods of extracting a resolution to the dishonest activity.

This is something that really concerns me, when making transactions I am honest to a fault and people who take advantage of that hurt us all

Just wondering how much time has passed since you last texted/emailed him/her and received any type of reply and how much time has passed since you mailed the money order?
Just google earth search it first. Second it is not a crime it is a civil matter the police will not get involved with. Just like someone not paying their bill at the local store or vice versa. It really stinks, and these guys make way more than $120 bucks, they make thousands a day doing this.

If you go on Google Earth and put the address in the search function, it will show you an aerial view of the house. Then click on the little dude in the lower right hand corner and you can drop him directly in front of the house to see what the front looks like.
Find an old abandoned house infested with cockroaches. Put a zip lock bag in it with a cracker and you have a time delay infestation. They will lay eggs in and on the cracker. Mail it in a taped up envelope, make sure you smash the cracker, wherever they open it, short of burning it to the ground, you'll be hard pressed to get rid of them yourself. I bought a fifth wheel for the farm, well, it had a cockroach problem. I learned quite a bit about killing them little asshats. Didn't know you needed a growth regulator to effectively kill cockroaches.
Once I figured that out, it was easy peasy.

Just buy from members with good feedback. I let the small transactions go, we all need a starting point, but I'm not buying a 3k rifle from 1 feedback member. You had bad luck, most scammers are to greedy to bother with a low dollar transaction. Least it was just a throw lever. World we live in unfortunately.
