Hi Lawman,
Believe me, everything that can be done is being done. As long as a seller uses an FFL dealer to use as a transfer point or are a FFL holder themself, they can sell and ship without legal pitfalls. This character finds ways to avoid listing his identity truthfully and it has proven difficult for buyers to confirm his honesty and location after they have unfortunately fallen for his tricks. He has been banned from multiple websites, online auctions, you name it. He gets another ISP and gets around all the blocks webmasters can put in his way. He has been reported to every law enforcement agency on the planet and why they don't track him down which in my opinion would be fairly easy, is beyond me. All the LE agencies spoken to agree that this is a scam and is very illegal. This has been reported to the FBI, US Postal Inspectors, BATFE, local and state LE agencies in every state possible. He has his payments sent to a front or PO Box and only accepts Western Union wire transfers. People unfortunately trust him the first time around and that's all it takes to find out that you can't "trust" anyone online unless you are the one establishing the rules of payment. Eventually he'll get nabbed but when is anyone's guess. People like him are the scum of the Earth. He needs to meet a few of his victims alone in a parking lot some night. Would serve his useless ass right. I hate thieves...
