Scammer Alert! - The Firearms Forum

TRAP55 · 09-02-2012, 01:58 PM

Pawel Nowak the Polish scam artist is back at it again. He has signed up on numerous gun forums in the past 24hrs, with the user name Longhorn1939 or Apollo 1939, and added forum spamming to his resume as well.
If you have never heard of this guy, Google his name, this is one scumbag that really needs a mudhole stomped in his azz.
His MO is posting for sale ads, of hard to find items, in excellent condition, with pics, and at a reasonable price, not to low or too high so he can bait you in. When he gets discovered, he shuts down for a year or so, only to start at it again.
He also checks the "Want to Buy" ads, and then emails or PM's the poster with a great offer.
Previously he was using various combloc IP's to post from, this time it was a US IP of 209.217.254.57, and email Apollo1939@yahoo.com

Yes I've heard of him before, a con man is a con man wherever he goes, whatever he's peddling.

There are 18 entries red flagged for the ISP 209.217.254.57 there, also. However, none of the names or email addresses appear to be similar to our lad. Apparently nobody has reported his new activity to SFS, yet.
