JK. Report it to TGT. Then ask him to send you a photo of his TXDL. Then tell him to send you the rifle. If he refuses, fill theft charges on him w the local PD where he lives, and simultaneously sue him for the amount.

He said it's lost so I would go to the post office and fill out the paperwork for a lost money order. I also wouldn't go through with the transaction unless the gun was worth at least $1500. Anything less of a deal isn't worth the hassle of dealing with someone like that.

Sadly it was worth it, I was to get a brand new unfired Springfield M1A loaded with a 22" stainless barrel for 850, dealer cost is roughly 1500-1600.

man, that has scam written all over it.

Ooops! Sorry. You never know sometimes, and I guess I just gave proof to the old saw that there's a new sucker born every day.

I told him once I receive a replacement from the USPS I will then forward that to him. I believe this is fair because as it stands I have paid out 850 and have neither my money nor my rifle at no fault of my own. I mentioned that if you went into a store and paid for a couch to be delivered, and the store then lost your money, the store would still deliver the couch. This guy refuses to do that and says its not his fault and that he did not receive payment and won't ship the rifle till he does.

What do ya'll think? Should I say screw it and wait 60 days for my replacement and take it as a learning experience or should I report this as internet fraud/theft? Or is there anything I can do?

Any help is appreciated thanks!
