He was referring to the FBI (responding to "FBI territory" comment) and how Biden had the FBI busy chasing white supremacists instead of real threats. Not really that difficult to follow, IMHO. Originally Posted by bottom line

file a police report then contact your bank and initiate a fraud case on the check.

Well I’ve heard back from the Colorado local law enforcement in this case, unfortunately this is not the ending I was hoping for. The written response is below. Scams suck. I’ll soon be posting another ad for an Remington SP10. Thanks.

Good afternoon,
I just wanted to touch base and let you know whats going on...
I was able to speak with Mr. XXXXXXXXX about the check -turns out he has also fallen victim to what is referred to as an "online romance scam." He met someone claiming to be a woman on Instagram who convinced him to receive checks on their behalf, cash them and forward the funds back to them. He advised he has done this multiple times for several thousands of dollars believing they were going to get married.
Unfortunately, we will not be able to criminally charge him based on the circumstances.
I apologize that we could not do more. The associated case report number is 00-0000. Please feel free to reach out if you have questions.

Yeah, that sounds legit.He met someone claiming to be a woman on Instagram who convinced him to receive checks on their behalf, cash them and forward the funds back to them.
Oh yeah, I forgot…"My pronouns" these days…
Seriously though, I am shocked that the Colorado PD is using pronouns vs "her"…Don't let yesterday use up too much of today - Will RogersDISCLAIMER: The opinions expressed in my posts are my own and do not necessarily reflect the opinions, views, or official policies of Michigan Gun Owners.

There is no "her". It's typically a group of scammers, so the pronoun use is correct.
I'm surprised they're not charging the guy. Being a sad sack lonely idiot isn't a get out of jail free card.

They are probably they'll get called "racists" and lose their jobs if they actually DO their jobs. After all, we're talking Colorado. Originally Posted by MSUSpartan99
