Beware of a scammer

I didn’t mean to create a worm hole for everyone to dive into, just trying to warn everyone about one guy.
Take care and good luck this hunting season

I, and I am sure many others, appreciate the heads up.

Getting scammed sucks and is something I always have in mind when making purchases. So far, interactions with fellow Roksliders has been great, and I do favor repeat business with people I have bought from before. Its just weeding out the scammers that can be difficult.

Oh, and BTW, don’t pull the bone-heeded move I did and fat-finger the “ignore” link in a seller’s profile when checking their rating. All their posted content will disappear. I paniced over my own stupidity and thought I was getting scammed. Kudos to the moderators for figuring it out.

Yeah, I felt kind of stupid after that one.

Doesn't Paypal own Venmo? Difference?

Appreciate you looking out, but seriously looking to buy. Its a solid deal and have been looking for a reasonably price .308 predator for a minute.

Here is the info right from PayPal, all payments via goods and services over $600 will receive a 1099-k which is sent to the IRS. Started January 1, 2024 so it is already in effect. And for anything gun related you are SOL regardless of either option as PayPal would probably lock and delete your account over it.

As for the IRS the issue would be proving your cost basis, some stuff I can find receipts for but other stuff I can’t. At that point I have no idea how you go about rectifying that discrepancy with them.

They will not only lock and delete, but freeze access to any funds you have there. They are straight up commies.

And that is why the minute funds hit my account they are immediately transferred to my checking account and then to my savings. They can’t take or freeze what isn’t there.
