Christof Stehpinkler Posted December 29, 2022 Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 User Wcasey responded to my WTB about Uzi mags & parts. He’s pretty new (as am I) and I just wonder if anyone has had financial dealings with him and can vouch for him. Thx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christof Stehpinkler Posted December 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 So I asked him to show me a picture of the items I was considering, along with his hand making a particular distinctive gesture, and was immediately told that someone else had just bought them. Seems pretty sketchy! Is there a way to tag him to this discussion and see if he wants to do anything to make himself more trustworthy?

Rooster2412 Posted December 29, 2022 Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 (edited) sketchy indeed... I've been scammed twice here on WTB ads so I'd be very wary of new members Edited December 29, 2022 by Rooster2412 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddy H Posted December 29, 2022 Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 Always ask for photos ….. With a small TORN ( hard to photoshop ) piece of paper … with your name or email … handwritten on the paper …. With the paper lying ON the items ….. doing all of this makes it very hard to fake … here is a Faked …. UNTORN paper attempt ….. http://www.sturmgewehr.com/bhinton/Misc_Pics/FakedSCAR17Sa.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
United Surplus Arms Posted December 30, 2022 Report Share Posted December 30, 2022 just as easy to facetime/video chat with the person - have them show you the item for sale, live on video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellipsis Posted December 30, 2022 Report Share Posted December 30, 2022 Yep, same thing when asking for pictures when he replied to my WTB. Said it was sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
