I just noticed that this web site

Taipan Veteran Standard In .177 With Cz Barrel Pcp Air Rifle

Noora Health Products Private Limited - Offering Taipan Veteran Standard in .177 with CZ Barrel PCP Air Rifle at Rs 80000 in Kolkata, West Bengal. Also find Air Rifle price list | ID: 27205046662

www.indiamart.com

has MY Taipan 177 rifle for sale, the one listed in this classified section. Is there anything I can do to shut that ad down?

No. To be helpful, I would not spend any time on that website w/o a robust net security system. They stole your photo, they won't stop there if they can get away with anything.

Let the mods know over on the site you found it on. I know what site you are talking about, and they are very receptive to take down fraud postings.

Either that or make a post over there and state that it is a fraudulent posting

Yeah, everything I tried on the www.indiamart.com site wants all of my information before I can write or issue a complaint of the fraudulent behavior. I'm not going to give those folks any of my information. I pity the poor fool that buys my rifle from them.

It's always a good idea to watermark your photos.

I see this almost every day on a local gun selling website - utahgunexchange.com Scammers come out of the woodwork and make fake listings using the photos and descriptions from other peoples ads on Gunbroker, Guns America, etc. to try to get money from people selling something they don't have. You can sometimes find multiple scam listings of the same item by using Google revers photo search.

It might also be an actual listing but they stole your image because they were too lazy to take their own.
