Since I've gotten wiser (older) I have found myself becoming increasingly wary of a lot of what is on the net including official looking emails from whom appears, at first glance, to be my internet and or cell phone provider.

Dead giveaway is the opening line; "Dear esteemed customer". I mean, seriously, who uses esteemed nowadays? I really hope these people never get smart and actually get someone to write their scams who knows the intricacies of the English language!

I only use esteemed for cooking veggies and rice.

Hah! The play on words, sort of like in denial or in de-nile

Don't forget to buy that empty box with Sezzle.

Sezzle is a stripper, and I'm sure she doesn't come with an empty box.

If I bought a fake scope, I might be Uh - steamed

You have to remember a lot of scam emails are written poorly on purpose. Scammers do not want to spend their time with people who will catch on midway through, they want a sucker they can take all the way to the end every single time. A poorly crafted email ensures that anyone smart enough to catch on somewhere along the line will catch on immediately and not respond at all.

In short these emails are crafted to hook only the most vulnerable people and no one else, often the elderly or those with cognitive impairments for whom the errors will not raise any red flags. These are the same type of people who will not question payments made in Walmart gift cards as the final step in the scam. It is a deliberate choice, and demonstrates the scammers know exactly who they are targeting.

And people wonder why I advocate for the death penalty for such scum.

If this is not a scam I'd be surprised and would surmise the seller doesn't know what he/she has.

I was interested in the auction site you mentioned (montrose auctions) so I looked them up. A lot of interesting items and firearms but with an 18% buyers fee, plus I'm guessing packing and shipping fees.

Going by the number of online bids the market for firearms, at least when it's an auction, is very much alive and well.
