New UsedAirsoft Phishing Scam?

[SGSS]

Hey everyone. I was new to UsedAirsoft and was simply looking for an additional platform to advertise my item.

I got this email with a link to enter my full card details to “receive the funds”. No notifications on UsedAirsoft itself and you’ll see in the chat message it states you need to remain on that website “you’re currently viewing”.

Surely this is a phishing scam to steal your card details and also a copy of your ID so they can spend your hard earned money on plasma TVs and vajazzle kits.

I’m curious as to how they’ve gotten my email address since I hadn’t posted it publicly on the website.

Let me know if anyone has seen this specifically before related to UsedAirsoft or was I just the unfortunate sod they tried it on first?

Cheers

Used airsoft is scam heaven, and this is definitely one of them.

As above, this does its rounds aa LOT. It also gets asked all the time lol

As for getting your email, I'm 99% sure they use the message feature on Usedairsoft with the generic template copied rather than sending you a direct email.

As others have posted, it's a well known scam (iirc they even tried it here but failed miserably).
