    Fraudulent listing on iHunter

    https://www.ihunter.co.uk/rtcl_listi...hw100-carbine/

    Please do not purchase the above, this has been directly lifted from my advert on Gunstar .
    This listing on ihunter was made a week ago when the gun was still in my possession.

    Ihunter have been around for a while, I know I mentioned them as a sales site when free-ads stopped selling guns.
    lots of their stuff on the bay.

    I think as the name suggests their kit is more hunting oriented, heavy pellets for FAC power etc

    They do a nice 3 in 1 IR illuminator with 850nm, 940nm & eye visible all in one unit.

    Yes you need to be very careful with the adds on there I nearly got stung with a .20 falcon light hunter seller asked for bank transfer I wanted to speck to them first the ring tone was a strange one and no answer but they answered emails straight away something didn't add up as I had seen the same gun just a week or so before sell either on here or agf so alarm bells started to ring I contacted ihunter to ask if there sellers were checked they weren't they removed the add I did warn others on here and agf about it sounds like either the same conman is back or possible another

    Theoben scammer too

    Theres a far too cheap SLR 98 .177 on Ihunter too at 450. Been advertised for 1 month and still available Says the photos are sufficient on the add. Clearly has no others to send.
    Always on the look out for Brum / Venom - Webley Longbow / Tommie rifles and parts.

    Ihunter is always full of dodgy looking rifles Dave.

    It became popular when Facebook banned airgun sales then free ads banning sales. .

    Its is surprising how many guns you recognise on there from other adds thought the net its a good thing that the members from here and agf can keep each other informed of things that might be dodgy its a shame society has become this way

    Our society has always been like this - hasn't it?

    It's just that the interweb has made it mahusively easier for amoral people.

    We all have to develop immunity from this kind of threat in the same way we that developped immunity from bacteria and viruses over those last thousands of years.
