Education is expensive. I have never been ripped off but decided not to send money on a couple of deals because it didn't feel right. Have dealt with long time folks on this forum many times and have never had an issue. Gotta know who you are dealing with.

Unfortunately, you are 100% correct in assuming that the postal inspectors will not help you in any way, shape or form. Before someone suggests it, ATF won't help you either. I would NOT advocate this for you, BUT if it were ME, I'd be looking for a forum member that might live in the vicinity.

The Postal Inspectors are worthless. They are vastly understaffed and rely on the local police to do their heavy lifting, which the local PD doesn't want to do. The ATF is in a similar spot. For those of you who want to defund the police, this is what you get. Your local police may give you encouraging words on a phone call, but they simply aren't staffed to help.

Another poster said they filed charges against someone in another state.....how? The crime wasn't committed in the state where the victim resides, so I doubt the validity of that claim. Further, If you file a civil suit against someone, you have to file it in the county where the defendant lives, which is a PITA if you also don't live there. Caveat emptor.

The bottom line is, only do a face to face transaction or deal with someone you trust. Any account can be hacked, which is happening every day on Gunbroker.

I’d be pretty surprised if anyone here is a member of the “defund police” crowd.
