Hey guys! after speaking to the bank for what felt like 2 hours.. I have finally got my money back told them everything the address his family the box he sent a picture of, the rug he used to take the pictures.. everything. They put the money in in seconds. On another not as well I said paid threw f&f but in fact it came straight out of my account so I think I got a bit lucky 🍀.. they handled it perfectly. The guy Tom who delt with the call couldn’t of been nicer about things really couldn’t. The police phoned me this morning regarding the issue and I still want to take things further.. he still has the other buyers money Stephen Joyce as he paid threw f&f I’m not letting him scam another bloke who is looking for something again. Named and shamed! I’m going to phone all the sites he goes to to get him banned. Until Stephen gets his money back it’s not over yet. Also I just want to say a massive thank you to the people who helped me deal with this.. salt of the earth kind of people. I really do appreciate all the looking up, the searches everything. I felt so alone and didn’t have a clue what to do.. but use guys made it right. I’m really grateful for that. If anyone is around the Edinburgh area in the next couple of weeks for a game of Airsoft at my local I would love that 👌 cheers again Craig

A GBBR for every occasion...

This looks like it has incredible range... it does not.

WE M4 CQB-R

If anyone is familiar with it (I am but I CBA doing the legwork) there is a very helpful little application available with Kali Linux called Maltego, it may even be on Windows too. What this will allow you to do is feed it an email address and it will recursively search the whole internet for connections to that email address/Facebook profile etc etc. May prove useful for someone....... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maltego

That is great news, BUT he's got to be made to "pay", I'm sure the bank will persue him with more clout than you & I, but I'd still out him everywhere, nothing will put more pressure on him than public shaming, especially if sites ban him & his team turns their back on him, which is likely unless they're all a bunch of pikeys.

Decided as I’ll end up doing more CQB and I quite like my hearing I would get myself some decent comms capable ear pro. I was considering going for Earmors but in the end decided on going for peltors due to reading so many bad reviews on Earmors as it would have ended up costing me the same after a few Earmor headsets and PTTs.

1. Check out Prefired. The original advert is here. Worth getting in touch with this guy, it does look like his advert has been cloned. 2. If you're without a gun now and in the Midlands, then you would be more than welcome to borrow one of mine probably a type 97, for a couple of months till you've either got money back or sorted it.

For great justice, shits and/or giggles? Brilliant result on getting the money back, and, hey, two free pistol stands.

I have some sad news... Spoke to an old friend of mine yesterday and we always used to love the look of airsoft but never actually went (I started going after falling out of contact with him). After a bit of catching up he mentioned that him and his brother and all their mates have since got into paintball... F 😥 Made sure to tell him it was the lesser sport. He also mentioned about how much kit they had all bought during which he said something along the lines of "spent £1,500 on paintballs between us" and IIRC that got them around 17,500 balls... If ever we needed a better argument for airsoft 😂

Sorry to hear this. I got taken for a BFG by a similar cad who was my bestest mate until he had my money, then came the excuses and fake tracking numbers. The most successful scammers are the ones that you'd least suspect. Now I ask for an explicit PayPal invoice right up front, or just walk away. £370 though, ouch. UKARA or the alternatives may have an address for him. They can disclose it for the purposes of detection of crime. They probably won't give it to you, but they should to the police / ActionFraud if they bother taking an interest, or if you have a crime number it may be worth asking anyway - just stay polite and factual.

The site, yes. His team, no. Chased enough stolen motorcycles and shit on Facebook/Instagram ect, while they're dumb enough to leave all their personal info everywhere and happy enough to give it out, it'll be the easiest way of getting the money back. Through the police you won't get anything and he will likely not get done, either. Been there with some cunt pot with my motorcycle in his back garden, halfway across the country and that still wasn't enough evidence. It needs to be dealt with, calmly, non violently but firmly. I. E, being calmly called challenged in person on a game day, ideally red handed with your rifle, and do it with a go pro. Present printed screenshots of it all to him.

Done a lot of digging around after stolen motorcycles and it's amazing what social media tells you. Don't message him, anyone, don't do it, he will likely dissappear down the rabbit hole. Don't message his team, chances are they will just warn him.

Hello mate I’m not sure what they did to be fair I never asked, I was just happy and relieved I got my money back cheers

Email UKARA, see if they will strip him of it. Next gun he tries to buy will end up scrapped by customs or not sold if in UK.

I quickly done a reverse image search and not much comes up. It appears he's been found to be around the birmingham area, possibly see if there are any sites he might frequent and ask owners if they know of him/ seen him playing you may well end up finding his local site and getting somewhere with it. Either way I understand you've been onto action fraud, the other people you should talk to are the police and ask their recommended course of action. I had a similar issue where a buyer of a very expensive mountain bike claimed they had not received the bike (I had delivered it in person) and clawed their money back through paypal, once I had a crime reference number the paypal dispute disappeared. As @Cromulon1994 mentioned email prefired as they will log his IP for the user who posted the advert on there. You may need to start building evidence for a case as ActionFraud and the police prefer an open/shut case as it's less work for them and you may end up with a resolution a lot sooner. I would also call Paypal again and advise them of all reference numbers from Action fraud and the police and request as much information as they will give you. They should be able to give you an IP address as it's a single piece of information which cannot be used to deduce the persons identity.

Hi Rob! Thanks buddy. lol, I get the blame for everything! I’m sorry to hear that you’re poor now though. Try to stay warm this winter. 😜 Damn, I miss Mr Nugent. He had such a valuable resource of information.

AKM mws anyone?

Apologies for the delay in dealing with the Fat shaming spammer. Busy weekend

It's like meeting the cutest girl ever, only to realize she has a longer dong than your whole family tree combined. That fucking price though.

IF ANYONE KNOWS THIS COMPLETE PRICK OR HAS HAD A RUN IN WITH HIM PLEASE LET ME KNOW AS HES NOT GETTING AWAY WITH IT Hello guys, not sure I’ve seen his name on here but he was on that freeadds classified. Basically was in the process of buying my first tm 416 rifle Was talking to him for a good while just about guns etc. On the topic of Tm’S and he said he had one laying about that he wasn’t using. So I said I would take it no problem. Long story short he’s a conman.. complete conman. He’s done this before, many times it makes me wonder.. 370 pounds he took of my to send a crappy plastic stand. I’m in bits. Just before Xmas as well. Phoned PayPal and they said nothing can be done as he wanted it threw f&f.. what a idiot I am I know. The level of trust I had in this guy was unreal. Basically best pals just chatting away. I’ve lost nearly 400 pounds so I don’t want anyone else doing the same.
