    Default Possible Scam Alert

    Beware of an add on Gunbroker; I suspect a scam

    Alarm bells went of when I saw the heading with Price.......Glock 17 C Gen 3 advertised for R 3000!!!
    The picture looked funky; opened it up and it shows a Glock 36.

    Double checked the add; it has the exact same wording as a more legitimate looking add on Guntree.

    Do I report this to the Mods to verify, as Gunbroker is linked to this Gunsite?

    Once more a reminder to make sure when doing business online.

    Yea, I saw that same R3k glock on guntree and flagged it. It is exact copy of details of a real glock 17C add, except for pics.

    Came across the same ad, but saw it for R1700. Might have been edited since.

    Airgun? Missing 0? Looks odd.

    Maybe flag it. If it's legit then the seller will do something about it.

    Gotta be each other's eyes & ears.

    Saw that one on Guntree for R1500. Googled the cellphone number and got some interesting sex related results. Stopped at that point!

    You used to be able to Flag a suspect ad, but I may be wrong.
    I cannot find anything on the page to notify Admin of suspected scam etc.

    Guntree website is not bright.
    They have alot of guys throwing on special herbs and stuff.
    Then these peanuts that scam.
    But you cant notify them. When you email them add does not go off.

    But they also make it near impossible for a guy to click reply on your add and talk to you. They should also fix that setup.
