Does most of sellers require deposits?

I agree on this point, but the opponent hasn't provided any phone number or info.
They just contacted me with an iCloud account

Yea, that's a hard pass. Don't ever send money to someone you don't know

If they don't contact you directly on the website via private message, you can assume 100% of the time it is a scam.

if you receive a text message or email from someone saying they are from the website, it's 100% of the time a scam.

If you receive a message on the website from another member, then you have to do a little research, but it could still be a scam. I have never asked for a deposit and haven't heard of that happening without maybe a FaceTime call or many specific photos of the product to confirm that they have it in hand (like a photo with a piece of paper with a hand written note with the date and their username from the website).

Hi, I am new to this forum and I only made one transaction on used handguns.
I was browsing listings on this forum
And contacted two more sellers.
They both contacted me with their email address iCloud account, and required a deposit.
Is this a normal thing here?
The first seller on here he haven't required anything he just checked my ID.
I am at southern Georgia.

I feel like these are scams, but just in case if I am not following the unwritten rules.

The sellers had several reviews, but since I'm new, I don't.

+ I am not a native English speaker.. please understand.
+ I started my first residence in this country at NY, thats why my area code is 934

I never have, however the last guy I sold a firearm too sent me half upfront the day we were supposed to meet up and damn did it feel nice…..👍🤷‍♂️

Is this legal though?

Been offered a deposit but never asked for one. Definitely don’t advertise your phone number. Welcome to Georgia and keep that number. No need to change a phone number you’ve had for awhile. People move all the time and keep their phone numbers.

The scam or a foreigner buying a gun? Green card holders can buy firearms.
