His email account no longer exists.. I just sent one to inquire about the 1911 mags!

Emails coming back as undeliverable by Outlook.
He even sent me some new photos of the mold and brass I eventually purchased so I can't believe it's a total scam.
Praying for him and his Family....
Same here with payment sent an no mold received. He gave the impression that he was going through tough times. I, too, am praying for him and his wife. Hope he comes around and makes us whole.
I got cold feet and backed out of my commitment to buy the scope mount. Initial request for payment from him was "PayPal friends and family is my preferred option ". When I wrote him back two minutes after he sent me that request saying I felt more comfortable paying the fees or sending a check, he immediately came back saying how PayPal had frozen his account. He provided a name and address for mailing a check. Google turned up no info on that name or address. Too many red flags.
Last email I got from him was on 7/17 said he would mail item 7/20, both email addresses I had come back as "Failure Notice".
Same here, Paid with regular paypal. Will say I paid with Paypal first and he said it had been frozen but he returned the money. Then he gave another Paypal account to pay thru.
I sent payment via PayPal on 7/18 for the AK63D underfolder kit. It looks like someone else may have also been told they were getting that kit, and so two of us may have paid for it. I attempted to follow up here, and to both gmail accounts he provided. Both of those gmail accounts no longer exist.
I have a record of the gmail conversations where he showed me photos of the AK kit, and we also discussed a Garand that he had, again with photos. Up until the point that the gmail accounts were removed, it looked pretty legit. Not so much now, I'm afraid.

on his other sales post I paid out for the; MP 227-65, 4 cav, cut for gc
back on 7/13 and for another auction of his on the 18th, no communication since then.
It looks like several of us have paid for the same items.
I also paid for the AK kits, which he said he had large collection of....
Said his PP was shut down for "gun parts" and asked me to pay through "Cash APP", which is owned by Square. So I hope I have some recourse
Mods ~ He sent me a phone number too.
I got an email originally as well, said he would do a "sweetheart deal" for all of it. That was enough to make me back out.

Both GMAIL accounts he gave me are no longer active.
The deleted gmail accounts make me think that this might have been a scam from the get-go. I just hope that he wasn't lying about PayPal being frozen with funds in it because that means some of us might still get our money back...but I'm not holding my breath. I am pretty broke so this really hurts, because that was a big splurge for me. I had been wanting a hollow point mold for a LONG time.
We are looking into this. If you made a deal with him please use the report button to report all PM’s between yourself and Jerry can. Hopefully this is just medical issues. He indicated his wife tested positive for COVID so he may have it too.
I was sold an AK M70 kit.
Sent personal check.
Tried to contact via email to verify funds delivery, email is dead.
I issued a stop payment on the check.
If it is just medical issues...I apologize and wish the best.
This smells pretty fishy though. I will simply step down.
I will issue report as requested.

I can understand that sort of thing, but with his GMail addresses now bouncing back mail, you can see how it looks REALLY bad. Plus, he said he had already sent the parcel out from Texas last week on Wednesday. I have no parcel here from him 9 days later in Tucson, AZ, only two states away. I've purchased from sellers in Texas before, it's usually 2 days, and I can't recall it ever taking 9.Quote:

Looks like I'm out about $275...:evil:
This is very sad...I am very disappointed, not just in a lost acquisition, but that people actively prey on us. In general my dealings on this forum have been wonderful. Some genuinely great people here, then something like this occurs and my faith in humanity takes a big hit...very saddening.
His email account we communicated thru does not exist anymore.
Started correspondence with him 07-17 concerning the two AK kits. He sent me pictures and we agreed on a price.
He supplied me with a cash app ($mitboyd) to pay thru. Said his wife’s name was Michelle. ?(Why I don’t know)?
Ended up paying with Venmo on the 19th. He received funds, and has now disappeared.
I had my son send the $ because I am not familiar with any of the payment apps.
Not sure if I have any way to recoup my $. Makes me sick to have trusted someone and end up getting funked.
Would be glad to take a little road trip to pay him a visit if anyone can find him.
Well, found a guy with the same name in Texas on Facebook, but not sure if it's really the same guy, or if the person we were talking was even who he claimed to be. Lots of criminals use someone else's identity to commit their crimes.
Someone indicated they had a phone number which was provided by Jerry Can. Please message it to me.
