Sorry guys, I was drunk last night and again tonight when I posted about an EE deal.  What happened was I posted a WTB thread for a TAVOR, was emailed by a cvtxxpolt with the email address xxxx, which is a suspicious email address referring me to a Jamie, that lives in Valencia, California.

So, I've been talking to the private seller who's not a dealer but a private seller and said he'll take payment in either bank wire transfer or iTunes cards in $100 denominations.

I get these 10 private calls.  I don't answer private calls but I pick it up the last one and talk to this Jamie guy.  I ask if he's in Cali, he says he's in Alabama.  He says he's selling the TAVOR to raise funds for his wifes Chemo.  The wire bank account is for a Cathy Love Pozas in North Carolina.  He's offering the TAVOR for $1200.

I suck at the search function.  I can't find any posts by a cvtxxpolt.  Is there a cvtxxpolt account on AR15.com?  Can anyone confirm the email address of the seller by PM or something?  Am I breaking COC by posting an email address, I'll edit it out?  But that email address is suss.

I'd just let this go if I were you, OP.

First step when you find yourself in a hole is to stop digging.

Stick to non drama threads like your PA Prizm thread.

So his wife’s hospital accepts ITunes gift cards for chemo treatment?

There are so many red flags in your post, it’s hard to believe anyone would fall for such a scam.

Actually a pretty good victim identification strategy on the scammer's part.  The advertisement automatically filters out anyone that is not a complete idiot.

There was another post recently by a member who sent money to someone for some guns. The seller was really slow in replying or shipping after he got the $$. He played the "my wife has cancer" card and tried to shame the buyer for rushing him. Turned out the whole thing was a scam. This sounds way too similar to that. The cancer/chemo thing must be a new favorite of scammers.

This is like the best example of an obvious scam I've seen. How do people fall for this?

ETA: OP, google the routing number and email abuse@ and fraud@ that bank with the account number and a copy of the email from scammer as well if you want to be a bro. That lady is getting the other side of the scam. (Dear miss, I am wealthy business man from out of town I need personal assistant to accept my VERY BUSINESS WIRE TRANSFERS and forward on to me in giftcards because I am important BUSINESS doer working in nation with unstable currency helping children, etc...)

ETA2: OP is lying and I got scammed.

No shit.

He gave me his mobile number, I called him back to confirm.  The deal seemed real until he said he wanted iTune cards, then the wifes surname is different than his on the wire account and in a different state.

I haven't sent any money so I haven't been scammed, I'm covering my ass.

Don't put your email address in your ads in the future.  Have people contact you via PM or the site's email function instead, so you know the person's screen name.

And yes this is 100% a scam.
