Scammer ALERT!!

[Pappy1600]

I was contacted by PM by jubee787 sending a email in the pm for a magazine that I am looking for. Here is the information;

"Check out Holliday in PA via holli2580 @gmail.com,he has a Swiss Model 1893 Carbine Magazine he wants to part with."

I sent a email and received this reply;
Holliday Christopher
holli2580@gmail.com

"Heres it
Kindly confirm if this is what youre looking for and text me on 5413578718"

Did a Google check on the number and it comes back to a few forums reporting of a scammer, Just wanted to make you guys aware.

Doug, I got one as well saying;

" You have received a new private message at Military Surplus Collectors Forums from jubee787, entitled "Redfield 75HW rear sight for a Winchester 75 target rifle".
***************
Check out Holliday in PA via holli2580 @gmail.com, he has a Redfield 75HW rear sight for a Winchester 75 target rifle he wants to part with."

I got a message back from Holliday Christopher that said "sorry, Not available"

My guess is that if someone posts a wanted ad, no matter what it is you are told to contact "Holliday in PA" so that he can get business.

I had posted an add on the exchange form a while back and was contacted by Jubee787 as well via a pm a couple of days ago.

I copied his response from the PM he sent me so here it is...........

P14 stocks complete
Check out Holliday in PA via holli2580 @gmail.com,he has a complete P14 stocks he wants to part with.

I contacted him back via a email and he replied back saying that he had sold out the day before I contacted him.

I'm not used to this sort of thing but he he is indeed a scam artist why would he not have sent me bogus pictures etc and got me to wire him money????

I'm a bit confused but happy to be aware if indeed this is a scam!!!

Cheers

I had a PM on here with the exact same thing saying to contact holliday regarding a No32 scope tin.

When I spoke with him his email replies were like he couldnt speak english properly?

I decided not to deal with him, glad I didn't!!

He did send me a picture of the magazine and when I asked him for additional pictures of every side of the magazine as well as a paper with todays date along with the magazine all I received was "Ok" haven't heard a word since, the guy is a scammer for sure.

I've had no reply from member jubee787 or holli2580@gmail.com, so based upon feedback here I have moved him to banned status and removed all his posts.

Thanks Doug. Unfortunately, I sent Gene a m.o. for $50.00 for a low profile safety for my 1891 Argentine mauser bolt before finding out it was a scam. My bad! We don't need people like this here. Too late, but live and learn! Jim.

Sorry to hear that Jim, easily done! They nearly got me.

Never deal with anybody outside the forum, if they are legit they will be happy to trade openly here.
