I got an email as well and like other thought it was strange, then I got picks of a Kifaru bag and not a HPG bag and didn't even respond back. Thanks for the quick action mods with the boot.

How are they getting your email info, I looked in a couple people profiles that mentioned they were emailed and there is no mention in anyone's profile about an email address. Have we been infiltrated?

he sent me a email too, responding to my wtb ad for duplex frame and another email for my ad for the wtb apollo/22mag, he said the same thing to me "i have what you need"
i responded and asked for pics of what he had
he sent me pics of a t2 in highlander
i responded that is not what i need..... i need a duplex and 22 mag or apollo
he never replied

i too thought it was very strange

This sounds very similar to Craigslist scams. I've sold a fair amount of stuff on CL and occasionally get emails about an item that I am selling that is very vague and written like someone who speaks broken English. The difference is, I'm selling and they're buying so they want to send me a cashiers check or something and then arrange to have the item shipped. Kind of sucks that these assholes are now targeting hunting forums but I guess I'm not too surprised.

I hate it on craigslist when you see an ad for a $20k pickup truck and the asking price is $2,500. I wish it was true and now they even have phone numbers for texting instead of just e-mails for scamming.

Every deal that I've done here has gone smoothly. Some guys have gone out of their way to ship things faster than was necessary. It's too bad that d-bags like this eventually show up.

Kudos to Ryan for booting him quickly, but it'd still be nice if he ended up strapped to a tree, covered in syrup

I had a member here (can't remember who) shipped me a $800 rifle scope before I sent M/O to him, just because I felt nervous sending a M/O, instead of paypal.

Jodi is Robby's wife, and for whatever reason the monthly newsletter came from her yesterday. I will vouch for her, she's legit ;)

I opened it and had all kinds of interesting things. Was just the first I me if ever gotten anything like that. Thanks for clarifying.

Are you and your husband hunting ready? After seeing all of the pics with you and the packs and very good reviews and thoughts I assume you both are holding back standing at the gates ready. Good luck to you both!
