pbear94 Posted June 9, 2022 Report Share Posted June 9, 2022 Hi all Does anyone know Fifty_seven? Bought a scope off him and all has gone quiet. A few emails and messages later and still not heard anything. I appreciate that he may be busy or away so giving him the benefit of the doubt. If anyone does know him could you give him a nod to get in touch please. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackRat Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 I really hate to tell you this, but he’s a scammer. I know that’ll be bad news for you ☹️ He tried to sell me a rifle so I asked to see a copy of his FAC before I sent any money and he sent me a blatantly fake imagine, and I found the photographs of the rifle he was trying to sell me on an American website. I did report him to the admin, and this was about 2 weeks ago now. I’m really sorry if I’m the bearer of bad news 😢 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbear94 Posted June 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 Thanks for confirming it. I'm glad I paid with PayPal so I had some come back. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English Rifleman Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 Really sorry to hear this. Hope Paypal sort this for you. But it might be a good idaea if Admin take this down before it gives other Tossers the same idea. Good luck Pbear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbear94 Posted June 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 Thanks. Hopefully if PayPal won't or can't sort it I'll be able to go through the credit card company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Ah I’m so glad to hear this. I know most of the time we send through as friends/family to avoid fees, but obviously this also negates a lot of the protection. I know I’m guilty of that. Hope it all works out for you mate 🙏🏼 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggy Posted June 19, 2022 Report Share Posted June 19, 2022 It’s very interesting to read the scammer’s post history. He clearly took some effort to post just enough apparently knowledgeable posts to appear plausible. Please take care everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was only after the sus images he sent, I realised that they were all posted over about 2 days, but good English and comments commensurate with the topics. A LOT of effort for a scammer!
