I dunno guys..........****mor has it that Nigeria was a very popular dumping ground for old worn out Colt guys that couldn't give away their Pythons (any bbl length, any condition) here in the States.

They were all bulk purchased by the Minister of Oil Production, and his brother the Minister of Finance in Nigeria, and even included some S & W Reg Magnums as I heard it, and then stored in a mayonnaise jar on Funk & Wagnall's back porch.

Contact Ed McMahon for the real run-down. I believer he may be currently located in the opposite venue of where this scam artist dang well ought to be!

Of course if a S & W collector was interested, the Python's had to have a label proclaiming that the cylinder rotates the wrong way!

Thanks as always to admin for watching my wallet as well as others on this forum.

I don't know what you guys are talking about, I'm waiting for my $100,000 gold shipment from Nigeria. The Prince himself is my contact. He just sent me an e-mail saying all I have to do is send another $12,000 so it can pass customs. You guys are all gonna' be sorry when my Nigerian gold comes in.

This member is another potential scammer...beware.

http://smith-wessonforum.com/member.php?u=303663

They PM'ed me and offered a gun I posted a WTB for. Brand new member, no posts. Took it to email and was finally able to get pics, a shipping address, name, etc. Its an address in NJ, a woman's name and pics and description are lifted from a 2015 advert on Armslist.

Yeah...steer clear of this person. Happy to post additional info if needed.

Just found another on a well known gun site.
Model 27-2 8 3/8" with all the goodies for $620.
Emailed him deal would have to be FFL to FFL, just to play.
No answer. Huh, didn't see that coming.

The magic scam word...Nigeria !
Thanks for the heads up...

Question, does the insistence of a FFL to FFL transaction usually not interest them ?

Seems to. If a gun owner won't take and leave it at a legitimate shop to do the deal I'm not interested. Once the shop calls and sez they have the gun I send the PMO to the shop. Owner gets the check, I get my gun.
This is the method I use and has worked well. Beside my FFL won't deal with individuals.
