It's a ring of one. Multi id's of a single scammer.
This bums me out.
It sucks that some loser on the EE has the power to make others nervous about dealing with low trader rating folks like me. It's understandable, but it still sucks. <- I've only got a 2 over there, but both were good solid transactions. At the rate I can afford to acquire new toys, it would take me a decade to get up to a trader rating of 15

Personally, with the members you've traded with I consider you good to go. Its when a low rating member has done business with other low or no rating members that concern me, like is the case with the G19. If you've got two trades with known high post and/or high trader rating members, I will do business.

ETA: What's important as that we all keep on top of scams and ripoffs. If we don't out those who are dishonst then the trader rating system losses its value.

I bought my 2nd gen g19 with 8 mags for $800 a few years ago... price is not bad, but the feedback makes me say scammer.

Yep, same here. If someone has a low rating I look to see who they've done business with, and decide accordingly. Or look at their post history to get a sense of who they are.

If you're dealing with a restricted transfer on a low trader rating, and there may be reluctance or questions if it's legit - you can have the seller provide the information to initiate the transfer (registration certificate, serial number, his PAL/information) before payment exchanges hands.
As TDC has pointed out, it's not necessarily how many times you've done an exchange - but who that matters more. Trader ratings are like a list of references; it's always a good idea to check them out when buying from someone new.

As much as I dislike being ripped off, this individual hasn't committed a crime yet, nor is fraud something deserving of incarceration, atleast on this level.

the sad thing is that mods who work the EE get email notifications about this very issue. Admin has said in the past, ignore the email notifications.
The system tells you when someone leaves FB from the same IP addy.
But......... just ignore it.

WOW
Well if they start the transfer first and you call in to cofirm it then send payment it be legit. If they make an excuse to not start the transfer its not. With restricted firearms thats the nice thing you can always reverse a transfer or stop it before you pay so they transfer you pay they send it done deal.

wtf?!
It's nice to see the PTB have the member's best interests at heart...
• No discussing deals that went bad (potentially warning members)
• No outing/shaming scammers (again, potentially warning members)
Who is it exactly that's being protected here?
well MR.Blaxsun,
this thread will be toast in short order.
yes, the priorities of the admin have nothing but his best interests in mind.
Not warning others of scammers, pointing our shills, ect... Totally ####ed up priorities. Investigating these sort of things, take away from the "important" moderating duties.
If you ask me, protecting members from scammers is THE most important thing of the site. That was my reason for joining the mod fold. I was sick of not being able to do anything about it.
