Anyone had dealings with this person ?

My comment about susats was referring to Tommika saying you should shop him into the Army - far too premature.

I did of course give that as something to consider 

If it sounds too good to be true then it usually is, and at the price shown probably was too good to be true and either some replica or something stolen 

Of course sometimes there are lucky purchases made of items very cheaply and legally where an easy sale can be made 

As @Johndaniel4863has also mentioned there are stolen goods going around, and recently on here was a reminder of goods going out of the QMs back door that found their way into Airsoft plus unsavory overseas buyers

Totally legit. He sold me a hat that keeps dinosaurs away and I haven't had a single dinosaur come near me since I got it.

Look, ultimately that profile is from someone who is very clearly an ex-squaddie and has shitloads of army friends and the majority of them aren't "far eastern".

Indeed, that's the first suggestion that Facebook made.  Fousands of friends, I'm sure some of them are quartermasters.  

The profile I linked to is a closer match to what OP was saying.  Either he's found completely the wrong profile, or I'm wondering if it's some sort of unconvincing robot account created to very badly mimic the high-friend-count "real" Michael Joseph Thomas in name only.

The ??? was a general invitation to comment on that, I don't Facebook and have no idea what sort of shenanigans are popular there these days.

I posted on Facebook that I’d like a L86 a little while ago

If I may say so, this was your big mistake, essentially publicly posting that you've got money burning a hole in your pocket, and that you're perhaps borderline desperate.

This is the profile link for his Facebook page, this is directly from the messenger message

to help out dralexander there are some airsofters but no military there are a hell of a lot of foreign friends as you’d expect from a hacked or scammers page. If you actually know him then can you ask if he was hacked/scamming/or just very cheap and how long would it take him to get the goods ?

He's literally reposting military memories.

It's good to be cautious, but I suspect that you may have strayed into paranoia here.

A little update, he pm’d me again using the same stock photos asking if I was still interested, I said possibly. He has now also tried to sell me an m4, and last time asked me to like a friend of his page as he’s looking for product testers.

He is but they aren’t of him, I think (but could be wrong ) he says they’re of his brother

Looks dodgy as f#ck, in fact he looks more like a Russian, or at least that region. 

Plus, how the fudge could he have served with the brits ffs, I think he's probably trying to scam so many people that's he's getting mixed up with what lies he's telling to who. 

As the old saying goes "liars have got to have good memories" ?

 

[Rogerborg]

At this point I'm starting to question my own existence.  This right here is why I don't Facebook.

Also, why does it say "SHE" updated "HER" cover photo. 

Even its dog looks Russian ffs ?
