    You still need to be vigilant though lads and report anything suspicious you see in sales to the admin team --- we can only act on information we have to hand.

    Just yesterday I received a PM pointing out that a member using sales was a returning known scammer --- him gone now.

    Thankyou once again, Ben.



    All the best Mick

    I know I cleared all my collection on here a while back and never had an issue looking to get something again though

    With it claimed to be in Scotland can it not be reported to police scotland as posssibly a fraudulent sale of a licenceable firearm.

    Ihunter

    The percentage of scam ads on that site must be the worst. It's the 4th I'm aware of now and there was very little being advertised. Best avoided IMHO.
    Always on the look out for Brum / Venom - Webley Longbow / Tommie rifles and parts.

    Yes mate your spot on after the near miss i had whilst i reported it to them they did remove it right away --and then they said trouble is none of the sellers on there are vetted --i no cams can still happen but if sellers are vetted surly that will make ir harder for them to operate? it is great that we can all stick together on the forum sites we use and keep each other updated
