I sent a PM, if these are still available. Thank you.

Just a reminder about scammers. I posted a want ad in classifieds for binoculars. I was contacted by a new user. The user replied with this message: Hi you can reach out to mike in texas he has the Binoculars for sale this is his email address jasonmike437@gmail.com good luck. It looked like a scam response, but I emailed anyway just to confirm. I didn't use my primary email so I wasn't concerned about getting spammed. Anyway, sure enough, the person sent me photos of binoculars that sold already 2 years ago on another website forum.

That was my other concern, the person that contacted me is new with no content. I am new as well. I only joined the forum because I am looking for a difficult to find binocular (Docter Optic 15x60) that is popular with hunters, at least it used to be. I have plans to use it for astronomy.

It's not the TexasBinoMan you are referring to -- I already had contacted him about the binocular I was looking for, prior to putting up my wanted post here. The person who contacted me through this forum is not legit and I am convinced they are not from the United States. They tend to use certain language/verbiage in their email communication that gives them away.

Based on the email response I could tell they weren't from the United States. Scammers usually will choose a random location nearby (in this case Texas). Also, scammers usually have a specific way they communicate that gives them away (unless you aren't familiar with their methods). Anyway, I just wanted warn other members, because some people are not as aware unfortunately and that is why scammers continue to operate.

found. post can be deleted. thank you.
