This is a bit of a long story but I’m trying to work out if I was being scammed or the seller was just being stupid. I bought a Kris Vector of a guy on here and it was being shipped from Spain. I did all the usual got videos of the gun, proof they were current, paid with PayPal goods and services etc. So we negotiated a price I pay pretty strait forward. He ships (TNT) the gun sends me the details and says it will be with me in about a week. Nice! Two weeks go by and nothing. Then We both get notifications the shipment needs more documentation, not a problem he just needs to provide the documents. Another week the shipment is then sent back to Spain for the missing documentation. ok so I contact him tell him and wait another few weeks. He says he has it back and will re send. Ok fine, a month goes by nothing so I contact him and get an excuse he is at work, then the following week he is on holiday and the following week it’s a national holiday he will do it tomorrow. Then another month goes by and it’s excuse after excuse. finally he says he has sent it. So I ask for proof of postage and for weeks get excuse after excuse (it’s at my other house, my mum is ill) then says he does not have it and was never provided with it. I contact the shipper they won’t speak to me buy I get responses from them. He says they won’t reply to him and more excuses. I ask for a refund and there are more excuses. It’s been 4 months and I have had enough! I make a claim with PayPal for my money back. He begs me not to and that he is suing the shippers and I can get my money back when they give him compensation. He then says it’s his ex girlfriends PayPal and please stop the claim. At this point i have had enough I now have my money back and am not answering his texts. full chat can be found here Scam or stupidly? https://imgur.com/a/LxbUCvb

Yes sorry I was getting confused we had so many weapons out they were scorpion Evos not G5 For anyone interested here is a pic of one I took in the Budapest safe house armoury

I was one of the armourers on Black widow and can cofirm they were section 5 G5s set up to fire blank. Not GHK The Glock 26 firing on the bridge was an umarex, the only airsoft used in the film.

Thanks have edited the details out

Hi all, please forgive me if I have posted this in the wrong section. Recently I posted a wanted advert up for a GBBR G28 The next day I was contacted by a member Dannywill (danielwill###@#####.com) who said he had one and that I should email him. it all seemed very good I asked him for some pics and he sent a load through it was a good deal, said he had recently broken his back and just wanted rid of most of his collection. He wanted a pick up but would post if needed but he was in Thurso in Scotland (the southern most tip) I agreed to by the rifle but said I would only pay via pay pal as the forum has advised me not to do bank transfers. He agreed but said “I'm presently having some technical hitches with my Paypal but my son is here to help me with his Paypal, Kindly let me know when you're ready to proceed with the purchase so I can send you the paypal address you will make the payment to.” Red flag No.1 So I asked for his phone number just as a back up but then he sent me this. ”Here's the paypal address you will make the payment to, ongoloerick@#####.com , Kindly make payment via family and friends, and please include your contact information and shipping address in the next mail. Thanks Daniel Wilson, ###### Crescent, Bettyhill,Thurso #### 819 334 #####” Strange I thought that’s not a UK number and so I checked the paypal and it only accepted $ USD I pushed him on it and said I would have to speak to him on the phone before I would send any money and that the phone number he had provided seemed not to work to which he replied. ”My phone is bad Sam, it accidentally fell of while in water while cleaning an hot water tank rupture I had on Monday, I think I will get a new phone once I had some cash on me.” It was getting more dodgy by the message I asked him again for a number to which he sent another American number saying it was his son who was over from America to look after him after breaking his back. I told him I’m not giving him any money and at which point he called me from an phone number in Great Falls Montan USA and was even more sketchy on the phone. I said to email me a picture of a utility bill or junk mail with the address he had given me on it to which he refused. He then kept calling me from the same Montan number demanding I Pay. He told me he would right my name on a bit of paper next to the rifle but never sent it this would only prove he had a G28 not that it was in Scotland. his last message was as follows “Sam, How I Wish you Know me personally, you would really no am a man of my word, My Son Eric is a student in the USA, he has only been home to take care of me since I had an accident if you doubt this, I would advice you to come for a pickup, I will be waiting for you right in the front of my house or you make half payment and if you refuse to balance me up after receiving the goods on your end, I will filed up a case against you, let me know if you're okay with this” I never replied. We then found an advert from October 2020 with the exact same description and pics that he had sent but collection from Bedford. we contacted the original seller from the 2020 advert who assured us it was sold in 2021. He was pissed they had used his images as part of a scam and reported the guy. This is just a warning to other to be very careful when buying stuff and if anything seem even remotely dodgy don’t do it!!! and to the mods please look in to this and ban Danny Will! Some pics attached.
