Oh it’s real alright. I just checked and it’s 81 miles from my house.

My amateur methods of fraud prevention.

1. To prove they actually HAVE the item, ask for a pic of the item with a common item included in the pic that's not usually photographed with the item, say a roll of toilet paper.

2. Ask if you can complete the transaction face to face and pay cash because you're coming up that way to see your sister and you can complete the sale in an FFL location and have it shipped to you even though you have no sister near there! :)

A scammer may comply with #1 but #2 nah, they'll bail right there. I've done this a few times in Florida (it's a pretty big state) and scammers weasel out of it.

Better yet, have them take a photo of the item with your user name and date on a piece of paper next to it.

With AI, you can do this quite easily.

Contact your post master general and his local LEO dept. Internet fraud can and often is prosecuted. I got ripped off on arfcom (by a long time member) last year, contacted the post master general, they handled it and the guy was arrested and convicted.

Also, drive there and notify local law enforcement once you are close. They will usually respond for something that could result it a 911 call.

Or, file a civil suit and make sure you add legal costs into the total

I would love to believe that this could happen, but as a realist, I cannot help but find your entire statement incredible.

I have never considered that reliable. I have seen the note contents edited many times.

I think you are making that up to be relevant, it’s a fantastic story. Sorry.
