	This guy is a thief. Some people call them scammers, but in reality, they are petty thieves. The term scammer sort of lessens the severity of the act. Let's call it what it is. So this guy; Chris Thayer contacts me with a message on this site. Sender: christhayer To: R.Gardner Standard Subject: Meacham Lube/Sizer Date: yesterday at 8:17am hello are you still interested in getting this?. you can contact Rick he has a Meacham Lube/Sizer for sale........... PM him @ Rickbeckham88@gmail.com Of course I reply. Thurns out "christhayer" has been on the site one day. Rickbeckham88@gmail.com "Rick Beckman" follows up, but I catch them. Chris Thayer is a Thief. Rick Beckham is a Thief. Be careful out there.

	I had them contact me to see if I was still looking for a .22 cal mold. When I asked for specifics and price, no reply. Thanks for the heads up.

	They contacted me yesterday about a lever I'm looking for. Very strange communication. Odd word usage. Told him to send me pictures of the lever but have not heard back. Thanks for the heads up.

	I've been lied to and ripped-off by so-called gunsmiths and gun dealers for the past fifty years, actually more than fifty years, I'm glad we're at least talking about it.

	I had the same experience with both of these frauds over a sight. First question from Rick (Fraud #2) was my location. After giving him that information, he then asked it I would pay shipping. This is before I even asked about condition. When I did, he responded with "good condition" and how much I would offer... There's a special place in hell for jokers like this...

	Same two that I dealt with over a rare box of .348 collector's ammunition. Asked for pictures and condition. Replied "at Denver" rather than "in Denver". Did not respond to my photo inquiry. Then I leveled with them about Internet fraud and my Law Enf background. No further contact. Caveat emptor. Covid left crooks with time on their hands to get inventive and fraudulent. Remember in November: these two could be migrants from Haiti or wherever.

	Gentlemen, A sincere thank you for this information, I too was contacted in the same manner and emailed the 2nd party. I have been so impressed by how genuine you fellas are on this site I naturally assumed all were of the same nature. Thank you again Jason

	He was removed after his first day on the site. His "application" seemed a bit off, so I and others were watching him. Any time you see a scammer on the forum, let me know. Btw it was hard to tell where his IP was from, may have been US, Canada, or Ukraine

	I am slow to catch on sometimes but a fellow named Beckman emailed me about a front sight I needed a few days ago but wouldn't give me a price and just wanted to know where I was located. When I read this post I put things together and realized I too was about to be scammed. I emailed him back and said the deal was off I had already found one. JMH
