"Country" is his handle 910-444-5648 This number has popped up in these threads before.

"I will buy it, I will send a check and after it clears through your bank, EMS will pick up, hope is fine ? I will pay for shipping - Sent from my iPhone"

I responded and said I preferred PayPal (which I do).

Yeah I got one too. Seems that lord changed his name to country. What a piece of work. God bless, Scott.

Yes,I don't do any dealings where the buyer says he will arrange pick up!No third parties if you can't deal directly with the buyer it's a scam!

Thanks for the heads up. I got a message wanting me to text him pictures of a bow listed on classified.

Tell him to mail you cash. Once the bank assures you it's good tell him it will be on the front porch and it can be picked up any time.

yea he tried me he said text that no .the bad part is if you put in country in the search there is like one hundred posts because of the word country he knows this that is why he is using it. he has been fishing in the search area .

I got the same. When I searched the number, it said not a safe number.

what exactly does he do with info? because I sold him a bow and he told me the check was in the mail. do I need to watch out for anything?

Keep your bow and give the check to the police

Let us know what happens whitefeather. Don't give up your bow till the check is cleared by a bank. Even if it does, I think the bank can still come after you when the check doesn't get covered on the buyer's end.

I heard from country too. How about SteveSpencer? Has anyone heard from him? I revived a PM from him yesterday asking me to call him about a bow I was selling. The technique is different but again no history when I search his handle. Be careful.

yep he wanted to by a set of limbs from me the typical ill send a check and pay for shipping and he will have it picked up when the check clears thats scammer talk for sure stay clear of him

My guess if you sale him a bow with pictures. He knows is on it's way. He can relist pictures on other sites an quickly get money his money...

whitefeather do not ship that bow to him they can scam through checks like that I would request wire transfer or cash only.
