Got a PM from his "daughter" claiming he passed away & left the family stuck with thousands of $ worth of airgun stuff. Is ANYONE here familiar with him or know about this? Let me know & thanks!
He was a member that joined in November of 2018 and had 29 posts last activity shows 2 days ago. I just did a search to see if he was a member because that handle sounded familiar, his account says Pennsylvania.
Be very careful until you know all the facts. In my other hobby RC I get "estate sale " notices more often than you would expect. Most (99%) of them are a scam some even find the names of people that recently passed and others using names of people still well and having fun.
I offered to help in any way I could. She gave me her name, # & email address & is supposed to be sending me copies of receipts so I know what he bought & from whom. Waiting for that info. I want to help my fellow human beings, especially those in pain & grief but also need to keep a healthy amount of skepticism.
UPDATE! Been in touch with his daughter Nancy. It's all legit! I'm awaiting receipts and/or pictures of equipment to be sold here on classifieds. Will keep you all posted!
