    It's funny, this same person [Williams Russell] contacted me about selling me an LMT BCG 308.
    0 Trader's rating, freshly made account.

    He sent me a photo of the lmt bcg 308 but the photo was pulled off google images. I then asked for more photos and he sent me another bcg in a box, this time the bcg was a completely different bcg, a 556 bcg. Different shape and color. I then told him that it wasn't the same as the first one although knowing already that the first photo was from google images, he then says sorry I got a bunch let me find the one for you. Sends me another one, still a random 556 bcg. I then told him the same thing and confirmed that i'm looking for an LMT BCG .308 and he sends me a photo of 2 bcgs in the same photo that looks similar to an LMT BCG 308 but isn't exactly it. I then told him again what I was looking for and he finally sent a photo of the correct LMT BCG 308 in a brand new packaging and he says here I have a new one I just got. Funny enough that same photo was from google images.

        If you have a PM or fake ad, use the red triangle in the upper right.

        You can also send a PM to Kestryll.

        Always give them a negative iTrader rating to warn others.

              He is on a bunch of other forums (cars, watches, etc.). Google search shows this person is also apparently a horny blonde escort on in both New York and Las Vegas.

              He has been reported.

              Steer clear!

                    Watch out for neilsedaka017 part of scammer and possibly fraud, telling you to reach out his friend James Rowland, jamesrowland401@gmail.com and this individual would tell you that he only takes cashapp or PayPal and he also have a bitcoin wallet
                    He will mail it to you once you make payment

                    Be careful

                    Can some Admin block these people?

                      Beware of Seller neilsedaka017

                      He tried to scam me into buying a P365 SAS from his "friend" using

                      jamesrowland401@gmail.com

                      His profile is as old as the post I put up on the WTB section. His friend asked for $400 online payment first before he shipped the gun.

                        Rather than ship our trades and pay FFL fees, we agreed to trade just complete slides.

                        I sent mine USPS on 11/4 and he provided a valid tracking number the same day. Mine arrived to him 11/9. As of today the other tracking number still says, "USPS awaiting item".

                        Communication was on point until I mailed the slide, then super spotty, now I haven't heard from him in a week.

                        He's been active here since he stopped returning my texts.

                              They can do it much easier and faster if it is reported using the red triangle in the upper right of posts and PMs.
                              Mentioning it here will not likely be as quick.

                              Other info:

                              If someone gets scammed, use the iTrader system to give a negative rating and warn others.

                              New member, low post count are scam warnings, but there are legit new members.

                                Contacted me about a WTB post I made for a Taurus TX22.
                                User was either trying to scam me or doesn't understand Cal gun regulations.
                                Wanted to 'ship' me the off-roster gun from Texas. I tend to think it's a scam.
                                Gungugu45 feel free to reach out if I'm incorrect.
