Scammer Alert!

   **WARNING** 

I've just had multiple email discussions with Dawnson1122 from this forum who goes by the name Robert Lion and claimed to be an expat Yank now living in New Zealand.  This was in response to my recent posting in Wanted to Buy, offering to sell me a near-new Weihrauch HW30, but he wanted payment via Paypal.  I immediately smelt a rat.  
After calling his bluff on several occasions he eventually fronted a fake NZ driver's license which as you can see is a doctored version of another floating around on the interweb.
Hopefully admin will see this and delete the account, but no doubt he'll keep on trying here or other forums.

**BEWARE**
