Well, let's add Scott370 to our long list of douchebags who are no longer with us.
Thank you to the two people who sent PMs about him! And of course, if you got a PM from him (or anyone else) advising to contact someone else for the thing you want to buy . . . don't act on it!

Well, apparently Alexm66 joined us yesterday and immediately started scamming. A *huge* thank-you to the two members who PM'd me; he has now been nuked.

Guys please, read this and let it sink in. We were just contacted by another member tonight saying he may have been scammed by someone pretending to be a legit member on this site.
If you have a “WTB” ad up and are contacted by anyone who claims to be out of state, or knows someone out of state, with the item you are looking for please, PLEASE, proceed with extreme caution. If these asshats find WaGuns to be a source of scamming revenue they are not going to stop.
We’re doing everything we can on our end to limit their access to you. Please help us by being extremely vigilant in cautiously approaching your online transactions.

And buh-bye, scottlawson....
Just a reminder, watch for those "buy it from my friend" PMs, if you have a WTB ad! Please let me know if you get one of those.
Thanks!

Do we have a spot for scam websites?

Right, I was thinking have a strict "no direct links" rule on that, just Name & Shame. Another guy over on TOS failed to do Due Diligence and just got popped by one, which is what made me think of it.
