comfortably numb
Shooter
I just wanted to get an idea of what exactly happened to me today. I placed an WTB for a side by side shotgun last night on this forum and listed my phone number. I am getting one for my son as a last minute Christmas gift. I had a text this morning from a seller who said he was in Mobile, Alabama with a double. He gave me the price(really I have no idea what this gun would be worth) of 150 and a couple of pictures. Sounded good to me, so I said I wanted it and tried to get his address to drive down there tonight. He then became insistent on mailing the gun to me USPS after receiving payment. He said he was disabled(not sure what this would prevent me from picking up the gun)? The whole experience was weird in that I would ask questions that he would not answer. I thought about posting the entire message transaction on here. Anyway, I receive two other texts from two different numbers within an hour with pictures of guns and wanting to mail them(New York) after I sent money. Has anyone had this experience with guns listed here? I am use to craigslist scammers, but this one caught me somewhat by surprise. Even gave me a forum name that I can not find. Still looking for a double 20 or 12 if anyone has one that they would like to part with in the next couple of days.
