LMAO, I used to get some unwanted solicitations wanting my phone number and address , I always gave out the local sheriffs dept phone number. I had a few irrate people email me again, but most were so put off that they did not bother me again. One thing to try to do , and I know it is hard to do if your in business is to make sure that you know of the person in way or the other... when I buy stuff I try to make sure that I know the seller in a peronal manner, if not personally: such as I would shop with salbo or pirate as I know a lot about them from boards. I hate people that are fly by night businesses , that try to say that they will undercut everyone by such a huge margin etc; you have to watch at least the first few purchases closely. And one other thing that I try to look out for is the BBB sign of approval in most online transactions. I know that I bought some ammo a while back from a new seller to me... I was kindly worried for about 2 weeks until I recieved what I had ordered: to some people maybe $500 is not a lot of money , but that kind of ammo is a lot to me.

That is the easiest trick to get all of the info you need from some STUPID minimum wage airhead working for the phone company. Once they get you phone number, they can get a Hell of a lot on you. The way I found a guy that owed me money once.

The most funny ones are these BEAUTIFUL young girls who want to get to know me ASAP!?!?!?! I wish! Dream on and get real!

BE CAREFULL!!!!

That is why I like local sales from Pawn shops or my local sporting goods store.
I have yet to order anything on line and the phone orders are from places like Graf & Son's
etc. I do not sell anything at all.

As many times as this thing has been in the news I can't understand why people keep falling them.

I guess if nothing changes, nothing changes.

Being active duty doesn't hurt. By the time they figure out who I am and what my address is, I'm gone to another duty station halfway across the country. And even if they do figure out where I am before orders drop, they gotta get to my house first.
