Scammer Alert?

(1/7) > >>

Poor Ballistics:
I am posting here because this is where the trouble started,  and maybe there is a moderator that knows what to do.

I had posted about my interest In the FWB603  and Walther LGM-2.   
 
I was contacted by two different "members".  Both have only one post, their introductory post.   

I was told that they have what I was looking for,  and gave me an email to contact them on.   When I asked them questions  and for pictures,  I never heard back. 

I am thinking they realized I was not a complete sucker (of course I am for precision  German metal)  and never contacted me back,  maybe looking for easier prey. 

How does one report this? 

Ronno6:
Kudos to you!
I fell for one just as you described.......
Only got nicked for an Andrew Jackson, so,,,lesson learned!

After I never received the parts that I  "ordered" they stopped communicating.

I then used a different email address looking for a part that does NOT exist.....they said they had it!
Goes to show ya.............

Perchance was the email address given:  autosdealerparts@aol.com    ???

If you do not get the PM's in your inbox here, the emails were scams for sure!

Merry Christmas!

Poor Ballistics:
Hey Ronno6,

Lucky for you it wasn't a Grover Cleveland!!!!

No, not autosdealerparts@aol.com,   and they both came in on a PM.

Ronno6:
The email I received LOOKED legit...had the                "gtaadmin@gatewaytoairguns.org"        as the "from" address,
but I don't think I received an actual PM...
gone now anyway..........

Oh well,
Good on you!!

NCAirLine:
I've encountered the exact scenario before on other sites, but was fortunate no money was lost.  Now, I always make sure there are pictures with a datetime stamp on a piece of paper with the website written on it.  Also, request they post the items for sale in the forum.
