Philipp - another scammer

[Loki7491]

There are multiple bits of the chat going back and forth so I'll give you all the TL:DR version.

 

He offered me 3 guns. 2 of which I was interested in.

 

I asked for additional photos and videos. The asking price was £900 for the pair which would have been at the very top of the budget, so I wanted to make sure they were in the very top of condition.

 

All new photos were photoshops of previous photos. The videos were indistinguishable as they were in the dark, shooting tracer.

 

After confirming my suspicions, I called him on it and he confessed.

 

Be wary boys and girls.

 

Happy new year to you all.

[rj1986]

What a prick.

 

"You have nice things, therefore i deserve your money"?

[JinxDuh]

Seems to me like you turned down a cracking deal. He'd wash your singular airsoft boot for free.

 

On the topic of him, he also tried to scam me a while back with a HPA M16A1. Using images from elsewhere and couldn't really give an answer to any of my questions.

There's a lot of dodgy mofos with positive feedback, weirdly usually from fellow new members who are equally as dodgy

Yep, but he can't do anything, & the senior admin get a notification & I assume delete him completely, that right @Jedi_Master? 

[EDcase]

OK gotcha 👍

Not sure how long profile pages are still visible. Assume they disappear after a week but as I can see them all anyway it is hard to tell. They should not be able to post which is the main thing.

[Enid_Puceflange]

What I did notice yesterday is a new member spam posting for meds on the general page, then his second post was in the classifieds

I thought we had a 10 post count before getting access to classifieds area.

not that it stops them spamming all the other areas

[Cannonfodder]

What an absolute bellend. Does he really think that after being outed a a theiving piece of shit anyone would want him anywhere near their house or property?

A few months back now iirc, I reported it and deleted the chat after I sent the proof to Jedi master.

On that subject, sure I've seen a NE sten in the classifieds a couple of times, might be worth doing a search & contacting the seller diectly M8.

Cheere mate yeah seen that one, it's a mk2 and more than the original selling price if I remember correctly!

 

[gavinkempsell]

Probably why I've seen it advertised more than once.
