class2mfg Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 Guys, watch out for "Oceanside" He is trying to scam people on the boards Ron in CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel763 Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 He scammed me out of $250.00 for an RPG-7 BiPod, but if he is such a looser that the $250.00 does it for him I feel sorry for him. But if anyone knows how to make contact, I would like to say hey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt Chopper Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 Is this the same "Oceanside" that sells on GB ??? https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1095980862 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psackett1 Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 EDIT: I was contacted by the REAL oceanside today. Yes I was scammed when his account was hacked, but the real Jeff sounds like a very stand up guy. I would do buisness with Jeff, he was very apologetic even though it wasn't his fault. I have reported the paypals the scammer used while logged into oceansides account. Please do not drag this man through the mud. Shit happens sometimes, and nobody is immune from it. Just make sure to speak with users youre working with over the phone and to do your due dillegence. I did not do enough due diligence, and the scammer saying the would not accept goods and services should have been a bigger red flag to me before sending the funds. Jeff is in contact with buddy trying to resolve the issue, and I am more than willing to vouch for Jeff to anyone willing to work with them. Thank you for reading, Patrick S.

Miguel763 Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 I have had no contact for two weeks, I hope to receive the item I purchased, when I do, I will post a complete retraction, apologie and the details. I have rarely been scammed but I have been looking for this item for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KickStand Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 I’ve purchased some vintage AR-10 mags (from the early 60’s), from Oceanside. This was awhile ago and he was a standup guy. Hopefully, it’s all squared away now, as he was a great seller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have rarely been scammed but I have been looking for this item for a while. I am assuming you were scammed with no contact for two weeks. The REAL Oceanside is more than a stand up guy and good friend of mine. Jeff is good to go. Buyers and Sellers must take better care in checking out who is in contact with them.

Miguel763 Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 does the real oceanside have the RPG BiPods, if so I would still be interested in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgon Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 The REAL Oceanside is good to go, MANY years of dealings and a good friend in WI. Deal with confidence with the REAL one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT Fish Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 @OceansideDid you send you username and password to that scam phishing email? I'd expect to see some more of these scams soon. Watch your account messages yall and always ask for "proof of life" pictures before sending money. A picture of the item with their ID or a handwritten paper with the date and their username Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bravo Whiskey Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 I purchased a machine gun from the real Oceanside without issues. Sad we have to deal with this, but my dealings with Jeff went smoothly. Hope this mess is sorted with minimal damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mheck Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 The REAL "Oceanside: (Jeff) is a great guy, I've done business on and off with him and had plenty of emails/conversations with him for at least 15 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty good at spotting the fakes but tech is only getting better and not everyone has an eye for it. For anything more than a few hundred bucks I'd definitely want some video or something.

car007 Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 I also want to add in that Oceanside (Jeff) is a great guy. I recently bought a Madsen M50 and it was a great transaction and we talk regularly now about the NFA market. He is super responsive and a first class guy. I hate this happened to his account, but know that the real Jeff is a stand up long standing person in the NFA market. I would not hesitate to buy from him again in the future.
