Another Armslist Scam? What do you think?

[wctriumph]

There is a AK-47 for sale on Armslist:

http://www.armslist.com/posts/2449230/colorado-rifles-for-sale--norinco-84s-underfolder-aks

These is a great gun and are much rarer than the 7.62X39mm Norinco Ak's. This one has been shot but not much. It is all matching and comes with one orignal Norinco mag.. This is a nice gun don't let it pass you by!!

I contacted the seller and asked if he was interested in a partial trade/cash deal and where was he located in CO. He replied that he was only interested in selling so i said I was still interested, where in CO are you located? Here is the reply:

Glad to know you're interested in my Gun. But I must let you know I'm not in CO, at the moment. I'm in Kansas for an emergency. My daughter had an accident so I had to rush down here. You know family emergencies takes priority. Her mom and I are separated so she lives with her here.. And I won't be coming back anytime soon. But I brought the gun here with me because I know I might probably come up with a deal with a buyer and I'll have to ship the gun out from here. My FFL dealer has it in custody already and it's ready to ship out to a serious buyer. So if you still want to have a deal, let me know. Then I'll give out my number and some other things you need so we can talk on Payment and the shipment of the gun will be handled by my local FFL dealer here via FedEx or Ups.
Thanks

What do you all think? Scam or Legit?

Scam.
While wishing the best of people, in an online transaction if it smells bad. It invariably is.

[Sharpienads]

Scam.

If it was legit, he would say he can meet you when he gets back to CO.

[blacklabel]

Yep, move on.

[sroz]

You already know the answer to your question.

[ray1970]

Tell him you will send your agent to pick his item up along with a check for way more than what he is actually asking and he just has to cash the check and send you part of the money back. You know the drill.

You might as well have a little fun with it: -reply and tell him that as luck would have it, you will be leisurely driving through Kansas this coming week and would like to pay him in cash prior to him shipping it to your FFL. Tell him that your schedule is wide open, you can meet whatever day and in whatever town is convenient for him.

[Irving]

Did I read this incorrectly, or was he offering to ship to your FFL? If that is the case, then it shouldn't matter where he was living.

[UrbanWolf]

Listing went up today, and he already drove to KS and left the gun at a FFL?

I don't know about him, but for family emergency i would not care what I'm selling and run over there right away.

[BPTactical]

Gee, even willing to violate Colorado's "golly we're all safer now" magazine law by selling it with the mag....




If interested I would get the holding FFL's info and contact him as to the validity of the item.
You never know, he could have gone out there with the rifle and needed extra cash.

That is if you are interested in it.

[airborneranger]

I just happen to be in KS as well :). I can act as your "agent" and check it out for you!

[MrPrena]

The mag doesn't look 7.62x39mm at all.
Am I wrong?

[Dave]

The mag doesn't look 7.62x39mm at all.
Am I wrong?

Looks more like the WASR 3 mag. Not curved enough for Russian ammo

[ChunkyMonkey]

Flagged!

[wctriumph]

As soon as I received his reply I knew it was a scam, I brought it here for its entertainment value. I did play with him a little and asked all the questions and he/her was evasive and even changed email addresses on my so as not to use his ex-spouses to sell the gun.

These a$$hats really amaze me that they think that so many people are that stupid. It was flagged as a scam before I went to bed and I received the warning from Armslist this morning.

+1 :)

I did this with a guy selling an M3 on Craigslist once (knew it was a scam). I offered to follow him all over the country! It was good entertainment for the week or so it lasted...

[sneakerd]

We posted a really nice Femaru P-37 rig last week and some asshat took our pics and description and posted it on Armslist for much less than we sold it for. We flagged it when the buyer told us about the listing.

[CO Hugh]

The verbose family emergency is always a dead giveaway in my opinion.

Revived an old thread for this: http://www.armslist.com/posts/3278711/denver-colorado-shotguns-for-sale--remington-11-87p--autoloading-home-defender---

So...is it a really good deal on an 11-87P or is it a recipe for disaster? I'm 100% against the background check law but advertising you're willing to break the law on a public internet forum can't be a good thing.

Fortunately I already have an 11-87P! [Coffee]

Dude, quit being a pansy. You need one for each hand. Just go buy it, and when it turns out to be a sting operation, tell the cops you were there to tell the guy that he is breaking the law and should be more careful.

[thvigil11]

I smell bacon, or at least alphabet soup.

[panic]

[fitz19d]

Or in the communication say you want it, and are happy to pay for the FFL check. I would almost think stolen, though ad sounds like they at least half know what they are selling.

[Bailey Guns]

"No, officer. I was buying this gun to turn it in and get if off the street. It's for the chillans."

[Gman]

The new laws are not working out so well for the Dems. They're probably trying to bait someone into a diversionary news story.

Sent from my electronic leash.

[ray1970]

It would definitely be interesting to see his reply if you sent him a message saying you were interested but would be more comfortable running the transaction through an FFL.

[balyon885]

A police model with no ffl? Sounds legit. Hope I get to meet Chris Hansen in the Wal-Mart parking lot too.

[Skully]

........ meet Chris Hansen in the Wal-Mart parking lot too.

I had to do a double take and use my GOOGLE Foo after you said "meet Chris Hansen".......................Why? Lets go back a chapter.

I know a Chris Hansen, he works for an agency that works with People with Developmental disabilities, some of those on my caseload for Adams County, He is a licensed Behavioral Specialist.

I was trying to think why in the hell would you would meet him in the parking lot??????

[Coffee]

After my GOOGLE foo I put two and two together, didn't realize there was that many Chris Hansen's that spell their name that way. I will have to give my "Chris Hansen" a ration of shit next time I see him.


More on subject of this thread I smell some fishy stuff. Not sure if I would trust this ad...............specially after all the articles on how "effective" the universal background check it.
