Just a heads-up: Has anyone been contacted by someone with the handle "boww" asking about a bow you have for sale? I think he's a scammer-- his PM is very similar to "bowM", another recent scammer. His PM contains a phone number, but no name. When you call the number, it rings and rings, then you get a message "the textmail subscriber you're trying to reach..." Same thing as the "bowM" scammer-- the phone number is tied to some texting-only service. Sellers beware.

Why would you spend money to send him anything...even a box of turds. He didn't lose anything that way and you did by paying for postage. That is not winning in any way, shape or form.

OkieJ, I have a bow on the way from a member who has zero posts here. Some guys have no interest in posting anything but sale items here and for good reason (sometimes).

Yes Flinger1... I agree, some real nice folks are here with no posts, I learned the hard way...I ignored a great guy because I saw no activity. Then we connected, had a great phone conversation, he is the real thing. So my take away is...always talk to the other party, only accept post office money orders. Conversation beats all the texting and email......oh and I wouldn't waste the postage on a turd....on the other hand sure would be funny!

Most likely reason they keep trying is because they have probably been successful at it, but you don't hear about that, because the people that are scammed are too embarrassed to say anything here.

James Evans, I dealt with this scammer last fall from these classifieds. I told him my name and address which was both of the local sheriff. I imagine the sheriff got the money order in the mail from the bunk Bank. The scammer threatened me talking about he has friends at the FBI if I don't respond after he sent the money order.
