Any thoughts?

Bought and paid for a gun online on Sunday night.

Pay by P.P. the advert suggested....yes I know,no protection for the buyer where firearms are involved.

I've made several attempts to contact the seller since,emails remain unanswered and the mobile number is not in use.

Not a monumental sum involved, but it concerns me all the same.

Where was the gun advertised?

Where was the gun advertised?

Freeads,the seller had a number of items for sale,seemed genuine enough.

So did the graham's but look how it turned out

They had well known YouTube guys vouching for them. They fooled every one that gave them money or goods .

Report him to admin , they may have access to a website of dodgy dudes , and may be able to give you his details if they have them .

When I was an admin on another gun site , we kept a list of the thieves , and basically ensured they never were able to log on , or register on our site .

I'm sure the admins there still do .

To my knowledge , BBS also watched and kept them from the site, ensuring a slightly better level of protection for the members .

The old story , sadly , Buyer beware ....

Not the £60 HW97 by chance?

Hi,yes a rough looking 97,however I've yet to see one on offer at £60 .
The seller made contact in the early hours of this morning.
Three emails in quick succession,the first asking if I'd paid,the next acknowledging receipt of payment, and the last giving me the courier and tracking details.
Living in hope .

Well, check the carrier/tracking details they are either genuine or false and that will give you your answer.

[piggy589]

Just checked the tracking number given on the courier's website.

Nothing showing as yet,oh well, try again later.

[piggy589]

Tracking now showing,out on 18.9.17 to arrive not later than 20.9.17.

Some interim communication would have been helpful.

Fingers firmly crossed.
