    SS shooter

    Likely this account is a scam sends a copy past message with a "mates" email that will sell at a fair price to every WTB listing I have posted. Based in Iowa apparently meaning likely some shothole somewhere.

    The is a warning post and hopefully admits Cam remove him before he catches someone out.

    Username SS Shooter.

    If I'm wrong apologies but I doubt it.

    Yes 100% he's a scammer, I recently posted a WTB which he replied to then gave me the email address of someone who had one for sale. All looked good until he started emailing me saying he had special permission to ship it to me without police paperwork, 'Just send me the money and I'll post it to you.' Was very credible up to this point.
    He who has gas travels at the back of the pack

    Lodge a proper report with police

    It’s the only way they get stopped
