Sorry if this has been posted before
I have an ad on a couple of sites.
I had a message, "is this still for sale ?." Replied yes it is
Received this email
"Thanks for your mail and am satisfy with the add and the listed price. i am a Navy (USNR -VS-82, NAS Alameda, VS-82.), I'm buying this for my friend as a surprise gift, i'm willing to offer you the amount you required.
Due to the hectic nature of my job, the only mode of payment that best suit this transaction is Paypal therefore i have made arrangement with my pick up agent who is a registered arm dealer to come and pick it up after the payment has been cleared into your account. i want you to get back to me with your paypal email address for me to make payment to you and also send me your pick up address so that i can have my agent to schedule pick up appointment after payment.

Kindly get back to me with the following questions below:

1) Are you the Owner?
2) Pick up Location?
3) Your PayPal Email ID to effect the payment
4) asking price once again for confirmation?

Thanks and God bless

Poor Jeff.
First his PIP assessment...
Now, Nigerian gun dealers offering him ju-ju beads & yam flour for his bang-sticks!

I agree it sounds dodgy, but what would be the scam? Paypal chargeback? Even if that is the case... it's not as if a firearm is untraceable unless someone has a fake FAC...
