I posted a WTB ad for an M18 Airsoft (https://www.theoutdoorstrader.com/threads/sig-m18-airsoft.2307612/). This guy sends me a DM stating that a friend of his has one for sale. I send an email to said friend and get these responses. I decided to call the guy and he didn't answer of course. Then he calls back and has a hard time with changing his voice. I'll be adding the screenshots of the text as well.

Buyer Beware!

How do people keep or almost keep falling for this stuff? Those guys are on here just about every day so it must be working for them.

Not sure how folks keep falling for these, "email my buddy in another state" from brand new members scams but here we are.

I don't get it either.

Look ODT junkies. I'm not on here all day every day and I don't "hang out" in the forum. I just recently started selling and buying seriously. Glad y'all are so damn smart and trust no one here. I, on the other hand, have had no shady deals or even expected to. I honestly thought a member was trying to help just like I am trying to help by posting this experience. Talking **** makes you look like a douchebag.
