HARASSED ON AIRSOFT HUB

[Orangetwister13]

Hi everybody, I'm posting this right after this whole incident has happened, basically what happened was, on Airsoft hub, I've been listing things for a while now, and this guy known as ANT M, decided to leave negative feedback quite a lot really for nothing at all, eventually, bringing my account down to 44% negative feedback. When I confronted him about this, he got extremely mad, and decided to get my number from one of my listings, and decided to call me through a private number, and persist to do that, for around 25 minutes straight. I informed him I was a minor, and for what I know, SELLING a Airsoft gun, to a person over the age of *18*, is perfectly legal, and I can't find anything anywhere saying the person selling it should be over 18 too, he also claimed he was contacting Airsoft hub and they 'have my IP for the messages I've sent' ( i sent literally no bad messages), only sticking up for myself, and then he decided to say he was going to contact the police about me! Anyone have any thought would be appreciated ? 

Being pretty frightened to in the midst, my friend, decided to comment lots of things on his Airsoft hub profile, most likely aggravating him, although that wasn't even me, and he was only sticking up for me and framing him like he did me.

A few screenshots are pictured of some of the things I wrote.

Happened on the 4/06/25

As far as I know there is no stipulation the seller has to be over 18 but I'm no expert so best to wait for someone with more knowledge...

And for dealing with trolls on the internet, wherever they appear, your best option is to ignore and block them.  They hate that the most.

Use any option to report them if available.

Afaik there's nothing in the vcra about the seller's age so this guy is talking out of his arse.

As for what to do now, @EDcaseis right. Ignore and block. Also I would probably report him to airsofthub as I'm guessing you're not the first person he's done this to.

and decided to get my number from one of my listings, and decided to call me through a private number,

This is a lesson in why putting personal information on a public advert isn't a good idea

AirsoftHub isn't going to give a stuff. Some joker posted an advert purporting to be a real Glock - with a loaded magazine - there. Multiple people reported it to them, and yet it was up for months, and might still be there for all I know.

I know this drama seems real to you and your, uh, "friend", but in the real world...

Edit: to be completely honest, reading the screenshots again you both come across as bad as each other

As I've just said tbf, I'm sure you agree with me if I showed you the other things, although he's persisting to do it, and you can't block on Airsoft hub, so I'll just have to wait it out, I'm just frightened he knows my location, and that he's reported me to the police 

 

[Cannonfodder]

I can guarantee he hasn't reported anything to the police.

You can get rough locations by typing the number on google. Information brokers like 192 can be used to search for people's info. The guy has probably used info that is publicly avaiable and likely isn't a "l33t" hacker. Probably some angry bald man who failed highschool.

That said, watch your social media and where you post your info etc from now on, and retroactively, because they can all be traced

 

[Cannonfodder]

I wouldn't worry about him knowing your home town as they'll have to find you in over 15,000 people

Just goes to show that site is shit

If you are a child , and are having problems with an adult on the internet , perhaps it’s you that should phone the police or at least tell your parents ? Rather than go on another forum and cause more drama ?

I'm not causing more drama, as stated if you read it, I'm asking a question, ?

Where is the question in the first post?

This. You'd be surprised how much personal information you can find about people in the public domain, alot of it they put out themselves without even realising it

Thoughts conveyed. This drama too shall pass, and it'll pass sooner if you ignore it.  If you're bothered by the feedback, just create a new account: it's not like reputation matters there.

Think about it, even if they do, they're not going to call the entire westminster swat team, barge into your house, and lock you up for life because "WHERE'S UR LOISENCE M8???". Police are just normal people like you and me, and understand bullshit that people spit out. So likely they will just laugh at you for being duped.
