eric27 scammer notice!!

[dmfd0331]

I just wanted to bring to everyone's attention the user "eric27" is a scammer. They responded via PM to a WTB inquiry I posted last week for a book (Serial Numbers of U.S. Martial Arms, Vol. 4), and scammed me utilizing Venmo. I should have done my due diligence beforehand, but when I googled the name "eric27" after the fact, it appears they have been scamming on other forums.

The first one that comes up on google is from watchusseek.com

eric27 - scammer on these forums - messaged me 5 min ago | WatchUSeek Watch Forums

and the rabbit hole continues from there. Apparently they also used the username "bruno73" on the forum longrangehunting.com

SELLER: - Watch out for this scammer bruno73 | Long Range Hunting Forum

and used another name "@john66" to scam another person on snipershide.com

Accessories - John66 scammer | Snipers Hide Forum

.
On all these forums, the scammer has the same M.O. They are a new forum member with a handful of one sentence posts throughout the forum they are working. They respond to a WTB ad via PM claiming to have what you are searching for and they prefer payment via Venmo. The phone number they used in my case was 1-469-436-0914, and I discovered the photos and description they sent me were from a WTS ad on The CMP forum

WTS: SRS Serial Numbers of U.S. Martial Arms Volumes 1 through 4 - CMP Forums

. Learn from my mistake and avoid the user "eric27".
