Yup. Don't send money next time.

Accept as a life lesson. The police could take down the info but this is low priority. Defrauders on Texas Gun Trader are not new.

FTF is the ONLY way to go on Texas Gun Trader.

Seriously, what "Breau" does he work for?!?

To the OP, you can file with the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) | File a Complaint but don't get your hopes up...

Next time read this first: IC3 Internet Crime Prevention Tips

I wouldn't do a gun deal in Weslaco....period, much less send money without having a gun in my hand already. But thats just me, I may be a little overcautious.

One would think this is common sense, go figure.

For me its simple FTF or simply an FFL to FFL NIB firearm. NO EXEPTIONS

Bend over... Staff there doesn't seem to care

OP, sorry to hear it. I hope someone trips that SOB up. If it's the same guy, we already know, he used a lady in Weslaco as a contact/check casher, etc., in a transaction with another member.
I live in McAllen. 20 miles from Weslaco. I've done business with sellers all over the valley. Done business with 2 members of this forum. Great guys to deal with. Face To Face transaction only. There are rats all over the U.S., unfortunately, 2 people have fallen victim to that asswipe in the Weslaco area.

Word of advice on buying guns weather its on TGT or anywhere else. FTF only, no exceptions.

I looked for a way to cancel my account with them, but cant seem to figure out how.

FBI.. Supervisory Special Agent..While they really want to put a stop to all this, wit heverything else going on, He also said that while they MIGHT lookinto it, the chances of ANYTHING coming of it.. are all but non-existant..

 

[tecknomage]

Hey, it wasn't Hayday, was it?!?

no, but evidently the same person.. & now he's rerouted his ops to AZ, Phoneix no less..

You might want to start with the woman. She's surely involved. There' nothing Nigerian about this, this is Texas/Mexico.

 

[kyletxria1911a1]

yep

 

[cajunautoxer]

Even on the website it say don't ever send money to a seller it kinda advocates a FTF transaction
