Where to purchase 1891 Argentine low safety for bolt (SCAM)

[Jim London]

I asked where to purchase a low safety for my 1891 Argentine mauser rifle bolt. I was directed to Gene Morgan, genem365@gmail.com by Chris Holliday, holli2580@gmail.com. that Gene has one for sale for $50.00 he would part with. Gene stated that I could send him a m.o. for that amount, but to send it to his wife, Bridgette Barber at 2106 Powder Mist Lane, Katy, Texas. 77449, which i did. That was back in November of 2019. After many e-mails between Gene and Chris and many snail mails to Bridgette, all with no response, I would like to report them all as fraudulent listings and advise to not have any further dealings with these crooks.

I think it's possibly another bait and switch scam, plus there seems that some of these folks are working together to cross-sell items by mutually referring to each other's email adresses.

Note: We do not allow re-direction selling using outside email addresses on our site via PM (Private Message), only direct sales from our WTS/WTB/WTT classifieds area.

Jim, what was the user name of the member from our site who referred you to a Gene Morgan since we have no member Chris Holliday at email address holli2580@gmail.com?
