Here's a good example of a scam!

A friend had given me a CVA Colonial Pistol kit.
I decided I wanted another so we could "duel".
I posted a want ad on MGO, migunowners.org, as I'm in Michigan. I'm on here because this is a great forum.
This thread had some good info about avoiding scams, I just figured I should start a separate thread: Shady???

I got into the following:

Then some more:

I went searching the googler and looky here:

Let me know if you want the rest of the conversation...I got this guy expecting me to get an Apple gift card tomorrow after work....

Shady? I wouldnt do it

This is like the Armslist scam where the scammer steals someones pic/ad, posts it all over the country, then tries to get people to "buy" with gift cards for payment.
The really bad part, maybe more in the random text pic/"hello", is if you get in a conversation, they will send you pics. DON'T DOWNLOAD THEM! As I understand, there is malware in the pic code...once downloaded, the scammers can get to your info.

Drag him on and on and on! My best record of keeping one going by waiting on the phone was 22 minutes one cold winters day!

Wait are you really intending to "duel" with your friend?

There is only enough food left on the island for one, they don’t have straws to draw. It’s a bad situation for everyone.

Probably didn't know how to pronounce Y pis a lanti. The only reason I know is I lived in Ann Arbor many years ago.
