  1. I did contact the FBI and got a response within 24 hours. Read about it on the General Skydiving Discussion forum (same title "Selling gear...read this)
  2. I emailed the FBI with the details of some of my attempted buyers. They were happy that I didn't fall for the scheme and directed me to the following web site: www.secretservice.gov/alert419.shtml Good reading!! Blue skies All!
  3. Another one....Cole Sule (s_coleautos@yahoo.com
  4. Updated my post on General Skydiving Discussions with the names and email addresses of the guys that contacted me. Please look there for more details.
  5. Here are the names and email addresses of these guys that contacted me. Be advised that they can have multiple identities. #1 Mark Ronicks (mark_ronicks@yahoo.com) Claims to be from West Africa. #2 Tony Benson (tony_benson_tb@yahoo.com) Claims to be from Nigeria Thanks again for all the input folks....I hate to see these jerks invade our "community". Years ago you could trust anyone in the skydiving community....not true these days. If I get any more offers I'll post them here. Blue Skies All!! Scott N. D-9788 AFFI
  6. I posted this on "General Skydiving Discussions" also....view those comments also!
  7. I just did a currency conversion (South Africa to USD)......$8750 = just over $1000 USD..... P.S. I did request either a cashier's check or Paypal.com....haven't heard a word from them since!
  8. Thanks for all the input folks....I'll list the names on here tomorrow (working right now) for everyone's safety (everyone that's selling gear). I didn't even think about selling the gear to these guys but I have decided to contact the authorities about it. I feel the same as alot of you that responded (been in this sport 21 yrs), I wouldn't buy gear unless I saw at least a pic of it. The rig I'm selling was kept in tip top shape (I'm a rigger also) but I'd still have things looked at.
  9. This is why it sounds fishy....I'm asking $1500 for the rig. One guy wanted to write me a check for $7500 and the other $8750.

  11. I was wondering if anyone else has had this happen to them....I have a rig for sale (advertised here and in Skydiving Mag.), I've received 2 emails from people that live outside the USA wanting to buy the gear. They want me to accept a check, deduct the cost of the rig, then mail them the balance. Sounds a little fishy if you asked me. If you've had the same problem or have any ideas as to why these people are doing this please respond. Blue Skies!!

  13. I recently purchased a new Sabre 2 120 along with other gear. After approximately 18 jumps I have had only 3 that were on-heading. It is now on it's way back to PD for inspection/repair. I was just wondering if anyone else has had the same problem and if so what was the fix. As far as deployment body position, I can assure you that I am level during deployment. (3008 total jumps). Thanks for your input! Blue Skies All!!
