Actually...they dont. Would be a waste of your time.Maybe I'm over-reacting, but if he's in TN and you're in TX, I'd call the FBI. I hear they really like investigating stuff like this!

Tejano Scott has the right approach, he knows the right legal channels to take. I hope he keeps us informed on the developments...
My understanding is that the guy listed in Austin is the owner of the Texas Gun Trader website....correct?

Correct on both counts. Even when police refer small cases to them they ignore us.Eh, I thought the FBI investigated interstate fraud. Too small potatoes?
classified section here gets more traffic than guntrader
Apparently the ad for the SCAR listed in Weslaco is also bogus - All Texas : FN SCAR 17s SCAM ALERT. BEWARE OF THE SCAMMER! : Semi-Auto
So, this guy or group of guys has a nice network going on, granted there ARE a lot of Gun Stores down in the valley area that carry guns like these but apparently this scammer has a pretty good network in place.
I JUST checked on the Ad that this guy is referring to, and when you click on seller's other listings it gives an address, THAT address is to the lady I confronted in Weslaco.

Dont send money anywhere, period. Cash in hand, face to face only. Problem solved, no scam, only thing that could happen is you get robbed. And even then, you can easily prevent that by meeting at a good location, ie gunstore. Stop giving/sending money through the internet.

Or you could get handed funny-money. I'd bring along a counterfeit marker just to be paranoid.
