Is this scammer that good? New level?

[Guest]

Is this scammer next level? Everything seemed like a scam. Even his account, created in February, was marked as a scammer in Accuracy. See our communication below. My offer was me being a smart ass, thinking I was dealing with a scammer. I’m still not convinced this is not a scam. Pretty sure it is. I omitted his name as to not ruin a reputation if it’s legit.

Where are you located? I will send the funds once you take a picture of the gun with the following written on a piece of paper. Thank you.

Photoshopped is my opinion of that picture 

 

[Guest]

That was my thought too, the paper looks off to me

 

[Ledslnger]

I think it may be photoshopped in also.

 

[Ledslnger]

Took 30 minutes to photoshop it.

 

[Guest]

He’s pretty sneaky!

 

[hawkeye69]

Yep, crappy Photoshop work.

 

[Sqwirl57]

Definitely a bad Photoshop lol. A+ for effort though

I’m kind of dumb on the photo shop thing but how can you tell so I know what to look for in the future.

What is his loophole for Paypal goods and services?

 

[Jlowe]

$1000 for a $700 gun? I saw that add and my 1st thought was that its way too high.

The wood handle with cable ties... Priceless...

Somebody spent some time on that one. He did put a comma at the end of "2" then did a dash what does that tell ya?

If he doesn't provide a phone number and take a phone call he's not legit..

Run from this one..

 

[bertman77mk2]

If someone is not well known here I tell them to send me msde 1st and I will send funds upon receipt!

 

[wimpanzee]

That is some pretty shoddy photoshop work. The paper and the forearm don't even line up.

Gather information for the cops and to help others.

I know nothing about any of you including the seller and buyer. But I do not think the pic was PS'd. It's two separate pics. Look at the little bump on the mat at the top left. It's in a different position on each shot. there's a different angle on the bipod also. the shadows also appear proper too. The lighting is from two sources, incandescent coming from the left and natural light from the right.both look the same in each pic.
Like I said, i don't know anything about the seller or the value, or not, of the gun. IMO it's not a photoshopped pic.

If you look at the way the shadows are cast from the gun you can tell where the lighting is coming from. If you look at the paper the shadows just don't match.
