He backed out of a gun deal with me even before this all took place. It was a firm "I'll take it" as soon as his income tax refund came. Time dragged on and I offered to let him bow out of the deal gracefully but, no, he still definitely wanted the rifle. About a week later he came up with the story of the government seizing his tax refund for child support payments he had failed to make. OK, so I let that pass andlater sold the rifle to someone else for a little more money.

Then this happens along with a new excuse - and I give no credibility to the most recent "story". Others have spoken up suggesting they were also shafted by the man in their dealings with him.

There is NO benefit of the doubt to be given.
