Warning of scam artist

[the rifleman]

This message was posted to one of the other hunting/shooting forums I belong to. Just in case someone see's one of this guys ads.

"Be advised that there is a fellow using the screen name M4Scout who is scamming shooter looking for brass on at least three sites that I know of. He nailed me on some .257 Robt. and .35 Whelen brass for $45.00. He's posted what he has for sale on: Reloader's Nest - a reloaders resource and WTS: Large List of Brass and Componants for Sale Updated - AR15.COM and
WTS: Large List of Brass and Componants for Sale Updated. So far those are the only sites he's scammed on that I know of but I'm trying to see if there are more.
Here's the rat's mug shot. John Abene Mug Shot
His home address is on the rap sheet and it is to the letter the address I sent my money order to.
I didn't get hurt real bad as $45 won't send me to the poor house but some people on other sites spend over $100 and like me got nothing.
I've bought lots of components, bullet and brass off the Internet and this is the first time I've been scammed.
Just a heads up in case you see his ad on some other site not mentioned. Paul"
