This one has been making its rounds, there's been some pants sitting from a few AG's, but obviously like nigerian princes there's not a lot that can be done to stop it.

And here I thought loopholes were a liberal fantasy.

I got this one last week, I wonder if anyone falls for it

 

[Mtn_Guy]

Sounds legit... I say go for it. Please keep us posted how it works out

Almost as good as the "I can't be vaccinated" card for $50 I saw a week or two ago. LOL. Reasons that were valid ranged from allergy to age to immunocompromisation to extreme paranoia to religious exemptions. It was pretty funny. Basically, anyone who didn't WANT a vaccine could qualify.

wish i thought of it. i got a brand spanking new printer sitting here itching to spit out some kind of certificate...

 

[Manomet]

I have been getting these in the spam filter for months if not years.

 

[not new guy]

Looks like every other piece of gun related junk mail I get, from deals to raffles to people trying to sell me insurance, to stuff from the NRA, etc. It’s all shit.

 

[Reptile]

Looks legit.

It's only a certificate.

Anyone can make and offer certificates for download.

 

[ReluctantDecoy]

It's technically not a scam, but is highly misleading and more or less scam-like. While the header of the email mentions "permit", the body of the email is careful to only say "certificate". This is because what it is offering is online training and a certificate which then might be usable for the safety requirement in some jurisdictions for licensing.

What they will tell you is that you get a certificate and then apply for something like a Virginia or Utah non-resident permit/license, which is reciprocal with lots of other states. One or both of those states used to offer online permit application and accepted online training. I want to say neither offer this anymore, so I don't think these courses are still valid. But that's not stopping them from advertising I guess.

I'm sure along with the "certificate" you get a keylogger or rootkit for free as an added bonus.

I’m interested in free boxes of captain crunch, where do I sign?

 

[Prepper]

Can they print one on a sash? I want mine on a sash.

 

[Marty McFly]

Im gonna print out a bunch of these and sell them to people that want an ltc. Im gonna make bank.

 

[MGnoob]

I actually respect that scam...At least it’s original. I just want someone to buy it and believes it and then winds up in trouble. You’d have to be guilty of being a f***ing idiot...

Thank God some states don’t require permits. It just muddies the water

 

[MGnoob]

When I get scam calls from the IRS or whoever I make a point of staying on the phone as long as possible and wasting their time...It takes him so long to realize I’m f***ing with them
