I was inquiring about a FWB 65 in mint condition on AA. I sent the seller an email requesting pictures and where he lived. I received just three pictures and no info on where he/she lives.
After doing some research, the gun in question was auctioned ( GunAuction.com ) off on May 8, 2011 using the exact same three pictures he sent me and the exact same description he used in the ad.
Just wanted to give everyone a heads-up in case they were interested.

Scammers are hitting it kind of hard lately. Thanks for the heads up. I recently busted a scammer on tt. It’s getting ridiculous these days.
What is AA?
What is tt?

Pay Pal is your friend over there and a check card
also the first thing I do if I see something over there that I'm interest in is see if they are a Ebay member by do a search on Ebay, Ebay member with Pay Pal accounts are normally honest people
The ad is still up over there even though I sent them a heads-up along with an attachment of the original 2011 GunAuction ad.

American Airgun classifieds ads.
I received an email from the Webmaster and the ad has been removed.
I believe the AA S410 for $300 (sold by Chris) is also a scam. The ad and emailed
photos are identical to one listed on freeads.uk.co
Correction: The ad is for an Air Arms s400 Classic. I located and notified the original poster of the scam. He said thanks. Also fallowed instructions for scammers listings. The ad is still on site.
