I think I have a scammer on the line for a purchase I made on GunBroker. Price seemed almost too good to be true with a buy it now a few dollars over starting bid. Buyer lists paypal, USPS, Money Order as accepted payment. They contacted me today asking if my dealer name was correct , couldn't type my name right (very common name), and asked about payment. I stated I wanted to use paypal and i get that they don't want to use it and how about cash app, venom or Zelle.
The seller is new to GunBroker and not rated.
This left me with an uneasy feeling, so I did some digging and their other posting follow the same method. List as 700 buy now for 750 but the kicker is none of the pictures are in the same location, different backdrops, lighting, and tables etc.
Next I google image searched and saw what appears to be the exact same image as the gun "I purchased"
At this point my mind is saying scam, thinking of offering to use some type of escrow service. Has Anyone used one of these services for firearms? This is one I found.
