Charles Turpin was dude who duped me.

"Leave the gun. Take the cannoli."
I am having fun with him. Charles Turpin figured out I might be onto him, and I stopped getting my daily emails. Then I emailed him and asked if we still had a deal. He replied we did. So I started sending him emails as if we had agreed for him to purchase an item from me, and edited his previous emails copied below to support this alternate reality. He's hanging in there so far.
Truth be told, had he not been dumb enough to try to sell someone an assault rifle (from the UK), I might have been duped.
Well, Andrew Morgan and Charles Turpin apparently.
He is using the name "Martin Audley" now.

Has "Graft" right in the address. Anyway, I read about this a couple of days ago, so thanks everyone for the heads up warning on this scammer.

Great, good to hear that! Send me the items by using DHL overnight services and when they get here, I will let you know if I like them or not and send you money if I do. If I don't like them, you can send me money to ship them back. Put them in the mail right now, so I can have them as soon as possible.

What a bunch of undesirables! I never reply to rediculous ads or emails/etc... Too many scumbags prey on the innocent of the world. They will get their just rewards, it would be nice to see it on youtube!
Ted, thanks for keeping an eye on things! I am vigilant, but might miss one here and there. Great club, forum and people here!![]()
Thanks Ted,
The scammer tried to contact me also. English sounded to fishy so just e-mailed back. Did my homework also and decided not to do business when he contacts me back.
Ted your e-mail to me even spooked me. If you hadn't pointed to the forum thread I would not have responded even to you. Your e-mail address looked fishy.
Thanks for the warning and its nice to see a low member number. Looks like you are ahead of me by a bit.
My number is #75950
It never hurts to be careful!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks again
