SCAMMER strikes again.... STEVE GLENNIE

Ive just given up with this now lads. Not heard back from the police for a while and the prick glennie has gone all quiet. 

It is what it is. Just another report filed against him and in out of pocket. Cheers again for all the replies and guidance, hopefully karma can square him away!

Well, dude, hopefully the one good thing you can take away from this is discovering that not all of the Airsoft community are like that diseased blobfish prolapse.

Sorry to hear that.  This is how this parasite flourishes, by operating just under the threshold where the State takes an interest, or his victims make the trip to smash his teeth down his throat.

We all hope that someone else will do it.  I hope someday that someone does.

Thing is, given where he is operating from, I am really surprised someone hasnt had a words with a few of the local paramilitaries.  Thats how it used to be when I was growing up.  True story - I was 18 and we lived on a really rough estate.  One summer there was a chip van came and parked in the parking area to the rear of our house.  Loads of anti social behaviour ensued, litter, rowdy teens etc.  Someone (probably my Mum) had a word with the local UDA commander.  I watched from my back window as three men in balaclavas got out of a car with an AK and a handgun, robbed the place then burnt it to the ground.  No more problem.

This guy was up to this sort of thing when I was first into Airsoft, and that was 5 years ago. What a scumbag.

 
Dunno if I've asked this question before, but a big "HEY" to players in northern Ireland, what's your opinion on the pos Glennie, he started out as a player, does he still play ?, if so is he shunned or is the fact he doesn't appear to shit on his doorstep mean that people there don't take much notice ? 

Just intrigued to know what players over there think.? 

Cheers

He was also up to his tricks in paintball, which I’m sure was quite a long time ago 

One particular forum he had a go out no longer exists, but on another he is one of the people responsible for the implementation of certain rules.

I can see some rule changes in 2018, but also references to rule changes as far back as 2014, 2013 and 2011

I’m going to hazard a guess that his activities dated back at least as far as the 2013 & 2014 ones - and I’m inclined to say that 2011 was an early attempt also related to him

The only thing that makes me unsure was that there was also the ‘Sutton Coldfield triangle’ as opposed to NI

Behind the scenes moderators between forums were keeping each other up to date on suspicions etc and Glennie was a frequently occurring name that still triggers the hairs on the back of my neck

PPS. If you Google his name you can find mentions and a photo

I’ve been playing around NI for about 10 years and never heard of him outside of these forums… Don’t recall hearing of him on the NI group chats or discord either, hoping it stays that way! No room for carry on like that, absolutely hate scammers 

 
Just Chiming in regarding trades that do not involve a face-to-face

I'll preface this with indeed your mileage still may vary, and its up to you to seal the deal and go with your gut instinct.

I've done about 4 Trades over the post now of relatively high value RIF's

All of them have been trouble free

And following these steps has helped me, if these Criteria weren't met then it was Generally a Red Flag.

  • 1. They have a decent seller history/activity on AFUK or another long standing Airsoft Selling Platform
  • 2. They agree to send you a picture of their Photo ID (Drivers License) with a timestamp (a note with the date and name written on it next to the ID) allthewhile, reciprocating with yours, Bonus for UKARA.

(if you REALLY wanna be thorough, a picture of their ID, next to a Recent Utility Bill AND timestamp)

  • 3. Then, checking postage address of the trade (including yours) directly matches the address of the ID
  • 4.(Optional) one of the parties offers a collateral payment (the value of the traded item) which can be claimed if it goes pear shaped

You handle postage for your way.

additionally, as another user mentioned, proof of postage isn't really of any substance, but opening the parcel as soon as its been delivered on video will be. (also get the trader to send images of the item as they pack it as a reference image)

Yes it may come off as a bit thorough, but the trouble of losing an entire RIF with nothing to show for it far outweighs any effort in the preliminary.

And LASTLY Again, if the person you are trading with is apprehensive to send ANY of these details, then just dont trade.

I am a moron to trust this steve

A moron if you were aware of his past behaviour, yes. I would assume that's not the case though?

His main success when it comes to ripping people off is through trades. I really can't imagine this kind of deal with anyone I don't know/remotely.

 
I think its about time glennie gets a good pasting to be honest, ive also noticed one of the guns he scammed off of me is being sold. Obviosuly not being sold by him but still makes me boil inside that he gets away with it. 

 
For what its worth and if it saves anyone else getting bitten by this arse hat, he's still about on Airsoft Hub under the same username, Chris001.

Had a message from him asking if I would entertain swaps on my Marui MEU, good communication to start but funnily enough he never replied after I said I'm only interested in selling.

Only just put two and two together and realised it must be the same person.

Yeah, unfortunately he just seems to keep crawling back, how can the feds keep just letting him get away with it? I'm sure the OP isn't the only person to have reported him to the authorities, and yet here he is again.

Nice to see our tax monies hard at work as always.

i'd suspect if there's negative feedback on the account he's probably gonna switch it up regardless.

i mean he's experienced enough in this scamming malarkey.

True, that's the account that's been spotted.  He's doubtless running others as well.

That sounds likely.  You could try to record the arrival of the package and the unwrapping, with one continuous video from the moment the delivery guy hands it to you...   (Ask him nicely, maybe he'll stick with you for a couple of minutes and he can be a witness too)
If it does indeed turn up empty or with a brick in it, that might be useful somehow?

Postman might have some questions about the two pistols and a rifle in the package ?
