I's sorry to post these here, but I don't know where exactly it shall go;

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi and Happy Holidays,

I can help you with a lead. Please contact Jeff on jeffjohnsonrider@gmail.com regarding your request. He is located in Nunnelly, TN 37137 USA and the last time we talked , he had for sale. I purchased items from him and they arrived in NEW condition as described and just right on time. His cell # is 931-257-7351. HE IS A TRUSTED SUPPLIER....

Thanks

So I contacted this guy Jeff, and he replied he has them, we agreed to a price shipped to Egypt. I transferred the money through Western Union, anyways, then he asked for more money to cover some shipping costs that he calculate for, I did send him extra money, few days later its another amount of money, I didn't pay this one, and he had some friend of his to pretend as if he is from Customs or something and need me to comply by sending another amount of money for my items to be cleared and moved.
anyways, my last reply was that I ll talk to my lawyer as my wife is a US citizen-I work in Egypt currently as per business requirements, and mostly will file a police report. If I didn't get my items or money back.

I have dealt and bought lots of items with different forum members and honestly never had any issues

This post is just to give you a heads up guys, do not deal with this guy, by the way, I tried contacting Johnsuth several times with no replies, so I'm suspecting he is part of it too.

Thanks for the heads up and sorry this happened to you..

That is horrible.. I fucking HATE scammers!! Wouldn't be suprised if Johnsuth and this jeffjohnson are the same asshole.

[mashimarho]

Thanks for letting us know.

Sorry u got scammed but why did you wire this guy money vs PayPal or some other form of payment? I would never send money to a complete stranger. The odds of getting your money back sound slim

[stashtrey]

Very sorry. Hope this wasn't BBK type money! People suck so bad for things like this

Best of luck.

Hindsight is always 20/20, but you should ALWAYS pay via PayPal for unseen goods. And it should always be ONE single payment, not multiple via PayPal (PayPal does not honor buyer protection for multiple payments made for the same item).

Regardless, sorry to hear your negative experience.

Uhhhh... I don't know if this is you posting on random gun/sniper websites as well, but these are the threads that are popping up via Google when searching by the phone number provided. Something smells really really fishy...

I'm sorry OP, but you should have done your due diligence on this one. Plenty of red flags. Chalk this up to your cost of tuition to never do it again.
