Beware of Scammer on GunBroker

[PARA45]

One of our members brought this to my attention, thinking that it was probably chicken sh*t. I don't believe it is, but checked GunBroker to see. The same individual had the same rifle listed 4 different times, and all ended within 2 days of each, and had the same asking price of $900. The reviews show clearly that this is/was a scam, and seems like some buyers were scammed. Be extra vigilant, these a$$holes seem to be everywhere.

These are the listings: 904248753 closed 6/28/2021; 904139285 closed 6/26/2021; 903925242 closed 6/23/2021 & 903881851 closed 6/22/2021.

KKovar, You should try to link the auction so we can just click on it, or copy and paste it. There is no way to do that with the way you posted it. I dont even see an auction listing number anywhere.
