Good question Roland. I wasn't sure but apparently the answer is no.

Good rule of thumb. Never open " Anything " you're not sure of. And if it smells iffy, good chance it is iffy.

Re: BEWARE: Potential Scammer "Jonasm"
Add new member (as of this morning) "Roberthadji" to the list of scammers. I just received an email from him in regards to my last Wanted Ad that I had posted for a GEC 98 Whittler. Says he's got one he's looking to sell. Seems that he must have joined this morning just to help me out!!!
I’m a long time collector in search of rare and limited GEC AND Northwoods knives. Always looking to add ivory pieces to my collection. PM to discuss sales or trades, please!
Re: BEWARE: Potential Scammer "Jonasm"

email
from Roberthadji and I just turned email option off
and a PM from another new user, lyonww99, so add that one to the list.

Hello!
New to the AAPK forums. I would like to purchase a NIB (or as close to that condition as possible) Camillus #66 Stockman pocket knife.it appears the handles came in either a smooth ivory or a slightly textured ivory. I am interested in one with the smooth ivory handles.
Kind Regards,

Re: BEWARE: Potential Scammer "Jonasm"
It still is. I have just added a new aspect to the hobby. I simply string the scammers along, asking for more pictures, a better description, close ups of ricasso stamps. Eventually, they catch on and quit answering me.

Re: BEWARE: Potential Scammer "Jonasm"
I haven't been contacted by pocket knife scammers yet, but when I get phone calls about my cars warranty I string then along trying to get a warranty on my '85 Ford F150, with 172,000 miles on it. Basically I try to tie up the phone lines and keep 'em talking until they get frustrated and hang up on me. Feels much better than yelling at them.zzyzzogeton wrote: ↑Wed Apr 28, 2021 4:54 pmIt still is. I have just added a new aspect to the hobby.

Start sharing how much Jesus loves them. Most will hang up right away.

Tying up the phone line is a great strategy. My personal favorite is to use a canned air horn like those used at sports events or on boats. I give them a long blast, and with any luck, have their ears ringing for a week. I’ve yet to have any of them call me back !Reverand wrote: ↑Sat May 29, 2021 5:14 pmI haven't been contacted by pocket knife scammers yet, but when I get phone calls about my cars warranty I string then along trying to get a warranty on my '85 Ford F150, with 172,000 miles on it.

I recently received this on a thread where I was looking for Johnston USA knives. I received 1 picture (which I found on line) & no other pics. He then cussed me out when I refused to send money via PP friends and family.

Just got a message from ther457 with the following:
"You must have missed the post of louis09 about ther457 for sale some days
ago... I asked him about it and he said it's still available with him.
Here's his Email mikescott6678@gmail.com"
I can't seem to find any posts by louis09 or ther457 (tried but not good at proper searching methods).
Glad I saw the email address on this post...
