I am ashamed to admit I fell for this guy's scam. I had an ad posted looking to buy a stock for my 870 Wingmaster. He said he had one I might be interested in. He was asking $120. He sent me pictures and was very responsive. I was a little nervous because he would not take Paypal because of their "anti2nd agenda", and would only take Zelle or money order.
Unfortunately, I took the bait. I didn't find anything negative about him on this site, so I thought he was genuine. After I sent confirmation of the payment, he said he would get it shipped. That was the last I heard from him.
I then found somebody else asking about purchasing from this user back in Oct. I reached out to him, and he did not receive his item either. He said that the pictures he got after he sent the money were photoshopped pics from a different forum.
So I went to google images and searched for a similar picture to the one I was offered, and I found the exact picture with a different background.

He sent me two emails:

I have a dispute with the bank currently hoping to get some of this money back.
