[ForgedSpeed]

I posted in a thread, http://www.automags.org/forums/showt...threadid=90773 , expressing my interest in the gun. Was talked to on AIM by Jack00Carter with a message log as follows;

ForgedSpeed: ...hello

Obviously, he was trying to pose as the seller and rip me off. I really dont think this aproach would work on anyone with half a brain, but I though I would go ahead and post this just because. And yes, I know whoever is trying to do this will change their AIM name every 15 seconds. It would just suck for this guy to marr(sp?) a good sellers rep.

Just curious to see if someone else has had this happen to them?

Thats just suspicious not really a bad trader.

And some people only take paypal, nothing wrong with that

Umm...he was posing as the person selling the gun. But he didnt own the gun. I have resumed talks concering purchasing the gun from the actual owner and seller.
