WARNING - possible scammer
I cam across this firearm earlier today and email the seller
https://www.gunafrica.co.za/classifi...red-60303.html
So the number he watsapps me on is a UK number so I ask him if the gun is in CT and if i can come and view
His immediate response is why do i want to view. He says he's a dealer and I must buy and then it'll be delivered. He says it is in CT but I can't come view
Excuse me...... what rubbish is that....... be careful of him

Lots of red flags in that add. Website listed is in USA, item price list in dollars and a @yahoo email ??

Re: WARNING - possible scammer
Guaranteed a scam. The price is the first indicator. If it had 20 000 rounds through it maybe, but at 100 rounds that price is a joke.
Just the mags and trijicon sight add up to quite a bit.

The website linked goes to a business based in the USA. Maybe he's smuggling lightly used Glocks into the country using his prison wallet, but I'll bet all the money he's just a run of the mill criminal.

Re: WARNING - possible scammer
I saw the auction details and the dollars etc . That's why I wanted to make sure I saw the item first.
i told him i was posting this warning and he starts threating to deal with me. Oh well

i probably did over react on my immediate response but it does look suspicious.
