Gun broker Scammer

[w55]

After losing a auction i got unsolicitated email from the "seller''...of course it was a scam saying contact me, hey sell to you for less, buyer backed out, oh and can only use WU as paypal blocked and GB account frozeen...and the best send funds to Romania..lol..

Sure its obvious but just saying dont get greedy with a "offer"

Searched didnt know this scam but probably well known but new to me.

AGAIN.......What's his handle? Have you reported this scam?

[w55]

What was his handle?

Email was from "jackmadissongmail.com"...just a bogus guy, not even on GB. The gun was bidding on did sell.

The GB site has a sticky about this scam...its on the front page of website.

AGAIN.......What's his handle? Have you reported this scam?

Yes...no handle called himself "Jacky"...his info didnt jive with real seller

Its a common scam. They use a real account to watch auctions. They then send offers to the losing bidders. If 10 people bid, 9 people lose, you send out 9 offers, there is a good chance one of them is an idiot...

How do they contact the bidders? GB members are not able to send a message to a GB member unless you ask a question about something they have listed or have bid & won an item they listed. I've done lots of bidding & have never gotten a message like that.

Interesting scam... You should report the incident to GB.
