Happy Appy Posted January 2 Posted January 2 (edited) JB ran his rifle for sale and I sent him PM. He had sold the rifle ahead of me, but I get a email saying it was still for sale. come to fine out they wanted the $1250 mailed to a bank account# 4166665692 routing 041000124 . I had talked to JB just before this info came in, said the bank owners name is Todd Allen German. I wonder how they got my email address. I'm not sending money but be careful Edited January 2 by Happy Appy 1 2 Quote

Nickel City Dude Posted January 2 Posted January 2 He tried to scam me also. He sent me an address to send a check too. It turned out to be a beat-up old Mobil home trailer that I suspect nobody actually lives in. He wanted the tracking number and I think he wanted it so when the post man delivered the letter to a vacant house, he would be there to snatch it from the mail box. Here is the address he gave me. Mack Ervin 25 Chaseville St. Lot 7 Pensacola, FL 32507 I was stringing hem along till I could find a law enforcement entity willing the try to catch this guy but none were interested. If he thinks no one will try to arrest him he will continue to steel from victims 2 1 Quote

If he thinks no one will try to arrest him he will continue to steel from victims I was just scammed by Brown Leathers who also wanted a tracking number for the payment to a Florida address(Miramar). If it’s the same guy, he has evolved to now wanting payment via PMO. I guess he realized that requesting a PMO would make me think there was a level of protection involved in that method of payment. I’m sure the scammer already knows what I now know. According to their own disclaimer, the USPS inspectors just want you to file a report so they can gather data and analyze trends. It is very unlikely that your case will be investigated by anyone. Perhaps the reported data is used to justify agency funding requests After 20 years, I have made my last purchase on the SASS wire from someone that I don’t know personally. 2 Quote

The same Ruger SBH 44 mag that was listed by him, is also listed in Texas Gun Trader. Photos here and on that show the same serial number. Quote
Cypress Sun Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Brown Leathers was exposed as a scammer on Monday 12/30. No one in Florida had heard of him, the SASS number he used was someone else's and SASS headquarters had no record of his alias. He joined the wire forums in 2022. He was playing the long game and almost got a few people. I checked on him because several folks asked me if I'd heard of him as I've been shooting Florida matches since 1997 and the alias he used was issued in approximately 1999 or 2000. Scammers like him are starting to use the SASS Forum accounts they created several years ago just for the purpose of scamming. People look at when they joined and see a several year old account. They look at his SASS # and see an old, established number. Then they don't check any further. Guys, before dealing with someone that you don't know...do a little research. Call the SASS office to see if he's legit. Check with the supposed clubs he has listed. Check with a moderator to see if his IP address is actually located in the city/area he professes to be from. Hidden locations/VPN's, cash type electronic payments, no verifiable addresses and the like are all warnings. Heed the warnings, do just a little due diligence and you won't get ripped off. BTW - I think Brown Leathers came back under another fake alias, SASS number and older SASS Forum account number the same day he was found out. 1 2 Quote
