This is such a common scam that I'm going to sticky this post.

There is no legitimate reason to respond to a "wanted" post by pm instead of publicly, and there's no good reason to redirect anyone offsite.

Let the buyer beware. As it is written, the evildoer fears the light.

Sucks. Impulse purchases are my online weakness. Twice I've let myself be scammed here. Think I'd learn.

Once I think the guy was just broke enough to take the money and run. The latest was a very similar scenario to this. An obvious scam had I taken a minute to put my glasses on and look at the stats.

There was a dude in KY that thought he was gonna stick it in me without KY. AS days. I turned up the heat and got my $$ back. At one point I was starving him and his family or the lights were getting turned off or some BS. CIA Mike wasn't so lucky.

To my knowledge I haven't been scammed on any forum.
I count my blessings that I am a born skeptic and at 72 I'm getting better and better at being a skeptical mad at the world habitual old grouch.
