Anyone seeing ammo/powder scammers hitting local classifieds listings like a paper website, FB or Craigslist? I saw an add for H1000 from a person that listed a location close to me. I sent them a message I would take it. They asked me to paypal them the money and I said I would just bring cash and drive over to meet them. They kept asking me to just paypal the money first so I said forget it. I dont know if they were scammers but be careful out there.

Pretty obvious if someone refuses to meet locally that it's a scam. Craigslist is the worst, I haven't bothered to use that site for at least 3 years now. FB Marketplace offers a broader market and you should be able to get a better sense of whether the buyer/seller is legit.
