Be advised there is a scam seller trying to sell an MP5 using an old photo from one of my sales. I’ve seen it on Used Airsoft, but don’t know if it’s anywhere else. They’ve photoshopped the name. I’ve added my picture below to confirm.

The post has now been removed, but I think the name was William O’Connor, or something like that. Name was obviously photoshopped.

 
This is happening a lot, saw a pistol that I advertised a few months back on there recently, using my photographs, reported it and it was removed. 
Thanks for the heads up.

The irony is, I’m actually after a GBB MP5, so I would have been interested in buying it ??

 
Thanks for heads up , shitheads everywhere these days :(

there’s a seller on here regularly popping up in Mack’s using other peoples photos too although he seems to have plenty of positive feedback . It just doesn’t quite stack up for me ??‍♂️

I wonder if that was our old chum Stephen Glennie at it again.

That had crossed my mind. He seems to have been a bit quite lately.
 

Other than the fact it was clearly my photo, there were other things that stood out about the advert. Mainly that it was described as being a Tokyo Marui. Obviously, TM don’t do a GBB MP5, (although I wish they would, because it would be awesome). So, if you know your airsoft guns it’s possible to pick out some of the scammers. The problem is these people are mainly praying on people who don’t know a great deal about airsoft, or are new and just want a gun.

 
Most likely coincidence but used Airsoft has been offline for days.

 
When it said account suspended, I thought what did I do, so relieved it’s not only me . ?

Also, be aware that if you see this WE M14 EBR for sale anywhere using this photo, it’s also one of my pictures of a gun I sold a while ago. I know of one person so far that’s had this offered to them for around £200 using this photo. £200 is very cheap for a standard WE M14, let alone a fully trademarked EBR with accessories. So it suggests it’s a scam as opposed to the current owner wanting to sell.
