I received this fraudulant offer from someone claiming to be solidleadSlug on this forum. The offeror used photos from a Guns International post. BEWARE. (Ph number is "seller's")

Here is the link to the real seller's ad: REAL Pitcairn sale ad (Closed)

Yep, the scum bags patrol this forum for sure. It happened to me when I was looking for a Traditions Tennessee Rifle. All it took was for me to do a quick google search on the rifle and the same thing I was offered on here popped up on an old gun broker ad.
Thanks for posting, good catch and lets stay vigilant.
 
I usually do the verification pics but I recognized this immediately. I know just about every valid ad for the guns I'm looking for. Saw this coming a mile away. I did find his profile here but in case he stole that too, I did not want to jump to a conclusion. That said, approach with caution.
 
I have had very good dealings on this forum. The few people I have dealt with were straight up and honest. I am also a sucker when it come to buying on line. I wasn't exposed to a lot of tricks coming up and it is hard for me to think someone would do something like this? I do appreciate you for exposing this scam,

Is it possible that the seller posts on several sites? Many do, including me. Always ask for a custom verification photo of gun.

Good Point, in my case I asked the seller to give me the forum standard here. A pic with a note including his user name and date with he rifle. I got crickets. This is still the best place on the net to buy em though. I would just hate for a member here to be taken by one of these wastes of skin.
