I hope you're joking because this is the dumbest question I have ever read on this site. First off you have 1 in a million chance of a gun ever reaching you especially from nigeria and its extremely illegal. Also, if you give them your home address you need to have your head examined.

Who first mentioned guns? The scammer, or you?
It would help if you quoted the emails, as it isn't a modality I've come across. Or one that I'd want anything to do with.

If he's sending you money and guns he doesn't sound like a scammer.

What are you sending him - drugs ? Very Happy

Based on the limited information you have given, I would say there are no guns. The money he is going to send you will be in the form of a fake check or a fraudulent bank transfer. You will be asked to wire the money off to his partner or whatever, keeping a token amount for yourself. Weeks or months later, the check will bounce, or the initial transfer will be reversed and you will be held responsible for the entire amount. Telling the bank you were just trying to get weapons illegally probably won't help you much. Wink

Just a guess.

Turn around and walk away. At best you've got yourself into a scam situation unconsciously, at worst you're walking into enormous trouble (and rightly so - wanting to buy weapons from Nigeria you're an idiot).

My hunch is you're a badger.

I will send you guns and money. Drop me a PM with your e-mail addy and I will send you the correct forms to fill in and I only need you to send me $1000 to get all the paperwork through.

A google search on sgt Gary brandon shows the typical solider in Iraq with millions of dollars scam email. Clicky

I don't see any reference to guns though. Confused

Those formats often mention other stuff that was found along with the money, although the formats you found don't seem to do that. There have been a couple of discussions on here about whether it was a good idea to bait for the nukes rather than the money. (The consensus was it would be a damned fool idea.) I don't believe the lad ever has any intention that the nukes, or here the guns, are part of the deal. They are just added colour.

I have seen this topic start, but kept quiet, as i felt the OP or the subject wasnt serious so didnt warrant an answer.

Only thing i will say is will a Mod/admin please check the IP addy of the OP then do the same for the Mugu's we have here and send him back to where he belongs.

regards for the rest of the concerened

@Madhatter, if it's a lad or a badger, or even a troll, the mods keep a watchful eye on the thread and step in if things get out of hand. Otherwise they leave it be so folks can have a little fun and let off a little steam. Wink
