I think it’s pretty safe to say, the “winning bidder” of each of those phoney auctions has to know they got scammed. I knew of the gun, and the real seller, well before the a$$hole put up the phoney listings, and I was in the presence of the real buyer and seller when the rubber hit the road.

I will also add, I do have paperwork form the seller, who said that they reported what was going on GunBroker to the FBI. I am glad the listing is down.

I think we will all be much more cautious if we buy through GunBroker. And since all this starting happening I notice that I am not checking the Website as often...

The phony listings are one concern, but the fact Gunbroker seems slow and unwilling to do much about it is a bigger concern. I am going there less myself.

Well, this scam situation with gunbroker just hit home for me. I have a set of 3 Kimber rifles listed on gunsinternational. I just got an email that they are listed on gunbroker now. After checking it out, I have contacted gunbroker but have not heard back from them yet. Somene will lose a lot of money if the sale closes in 9 hours and they give the thieves their credit card. I would advise everyone to stay away from gunbroker. I have seen at least a dozen scams like this in the past month. No telling how many have been successful. We are just catching the obvious ones.

What's funny in a not so funny way, is the guy got slammed on a review, then even had the nads to respond.....

It's a shame this sort of stuff is happening, and GB is not doing a very good job of policing their site.

I contacted GB at 11 this morning. So far I have had no response from them. Not only will someone possibly lose a lot of money, it makes people confused and wary of buying the guns. It must be working because there are more and more fake adds showing up.

Some kind soul bid it up and then gave fraud feedback. The thief is no longer a registered user on GB. My thanks to whoever did the job on this clown. Too bad we can't send an electrical charge back through cyberspacer and fry his computer.

Looky here gunbroker I
Has changed ownership

Very interesting and explains a lot
