The Willard, OH address on the envelope ... I've seen it before ... there was a post on the Hide a couple days ago about a scammer using this very same address, different name though. I remember it. I'll try to find the Hide link and send to you. It won't matter for the investigation, but I find this interesting nonetheless.
Agreed! Sometimes people go out of their way to get into an unnecessary mess/risk.
CAMELMAN might be a clue what county he is from or scamming from.
I lived in Oceanside 11 yrs. Poway 17 yrs.. I finally escaped !
You make a good point, having already owned what & where I went wrong in this deal…I should have discriminated after looking at the 0 transaction for the seller/buyer (seller in this case)! That is where my radar should have kicked in & said abort mission.CAMELMAN might be a clue what county he is from or scamming from.
I'm so glad you caught it ! 2 years ago I was driving home from a N.M. deer hunt and just came into Cheyenne. A got a phone call from a guy saying I had won 100k and a new Chevy truck. Told him I don't want a truck from GM/Government Motors. He said I was chosen randomly from Walmart purchases . I had to pull over to mess with him. He asked what city I was in and if I was close to a Walmart ? I said I'm sure there's one in Cheyenne. He said good. He wanted me to keep him on the phone, drive there, get a Vanilla gift card for $1000.00 to cover the shipping cost on the new truck. I was laughing by now. He didn't have an accent, yet... He asked if I had a driveway at my house because they couldn't park the new truck in the street. I told hime I didn't . He didn't even ask my address. I kept telling him he was full of sht. He was getting mad. Then his Pakistani/Indian accent come out. I can't tell what I said to him but it wasn't pretty. Told him I'm turning your phone number over to the FBI and don't ever call me again. I hung up and 10 min. later he called me back and it showed an 800 number. I told him I recorded the previous conversation and will give it to the FBI along with the two different numbers he called from. Then I called him a few choice words and hung up. Blocked the 2 numbers.You make a good point, having already owned what & where I went wrong in this deal…I should have discriminated after looking at the 0 transaction for the seller/buyer (seller in this case)!

Best part is that I currently have 3 very nice scopes Trijicon, SWFA HD & NF) en route to me as we speak! All purchased off this forum from upstanding, salt of the earth people that I would deal in confidence with for the end of my days! 1 of these optics is the Nightforce NX8 1-8x24mm Moa, illuminated, can't wait…with these 3 optics, all of my rifle projects will be COMPLETE!!!!
Thanks LRHF!
Ever see any free money? Our government tell us that all the time, but it's a big lie too.
Want to see a lot of scam websites look up cci 35 50 bmg primers almost every one a scam website that says they have them in stock
All due respect, the price of the optic was fair market value..in fact, the NX8 1-8x24mm MOA/Illuminated Reticle trades on the used market in LNIB condition for $1400-$1450. What became fishy to me was when the check was delivered & not deposited or cashed immediately to then ensure that the scope would be shipped to me. I knew that any upstanding, salt of the earth person would deposit or cash the funds immediately so that the transaction would become final.
Camelman should of known that I wasn't going to let him hold me down! Mission Complete, got all 3 optics from LRHF Members & I wouldn't have wanted to do it any other way. Thank you to ALL who make it their goal to defy evil on any given day & show those who try to offend their fellow Brother's & Sister's that it's a BAD IDEA to EFF with AMERICAAll due respect, the price of the optic was fair market value..in fact, the NX8 1-8x24mm MOA/Illuminated Reticle trades on the used market in LNIB condition for $1400-$1450.

I got what I paid for and more…still have the scope I was looking for coming to me, most importantly I learned a valuable life lesson that has now been shared with others so that they can avoid becoming a victim of EVIL.
Even though my title says "New Member," I've been using the LRHF for over a decade & I have more complete or positive transactions than member's who have been on here since the inception of the forum. Since this debacle has occurred, I've bought & sold multiple items on this forum & will continue to do so without hesitation!
What doesn't kill us makes us STRONGER & more INTELLIGENT!
