My Maryland Buyer "Gilbert" - 05/16/17 04:56 PM
So I listed my pistol in a few places, and got an Email from "Gilbert". I asked of he was purchasing or trading, and this is the reply I received:
"Thanks for acknowledging my message, the condition of the Gun is great and the price as well. Just so you know I am located in Maryland, Baltimore , and I relocated here 2 weeks ago. I relocated for work. I have other stuffs in my old apartment which includes (refrigerator, gun wardrobe, kitchen items, grand piano, garage items, Big tires, baby stuffs, a Ruger SR40c 9mm, and a WW2 M1 carbine which they are moving for me., A FFL dealer among the pick up agent will meet with you to do a transfer to him then he will bring the gun to Me and do a transfer to Me (so its not a straw purchase). They will deliver them all together with my things so you don't have to ship it. For the payment, I will be mailing you a cashiers check and I will as well add extra $100 to the asking price if you can hold it for me till check arrives and cashed. I will send you a copy of there FFL, though he would coming to pick up with a hard copy of the FFL so you will apply signatures where necessary. we can deal with all that when its time after payment is through. If this is OK, please get in touch with your name and mailing address to send the cashiers check to. Include your phone # as well so I will be able to contact you for fluent communication. Thanks"
Obviously, I did not go through with this. Scam, duh.
Just thought I'd share, not only for the laughs, but also so yall can be aware of ol Maryland Gilbert.
His emails came from different adresses, so I'll post them here:
Sweetstoner7@yahoo.com
Sweetstoner72@gmail.com
Sweetfeet@clr.gov
He also goes by the name of Thomas, just received a second one yesterday in response to a different post of mine on armslist.
