Florida Shooters Network

I posted a "WTB: GLOCK 17 Gen 2" over on the S&W Forum I'm a long established member of and member john tyler sent me a message saying he has one and to email him to work out a deal.

To sum it up, fraud.






He pulled photos from a 2015 Facebook ad. I reversed image searched the photos he sent me.



But just to go further, I asked him to send me a photo with the gun and a piece of paper that said "MIAMI".



He took photos from a 2019 post on GLOCKTALK.com and photoshopped a note.



Here is the original post from GLOCKTALK.



The actual thread he pulled the photos from.

The guy literally photoshopped a note saying "MIAMI". Talented SOB for sure.

Wow, that's actually pretty good.

Was going to do a buy with a guy up in Gainesville area last week. Told him to send me a copy if his FLDL, it was a fake. Numbers didn't match up. Asked him to do a video call with me over the phone, he wouldn't do it. Cancelled sale

Yes, some thieves are pretty petty and some have a decent IQ. If only they'd use it more wisely and.......honestly. Mav

If you get the scammers email you can Google it they use the same email address for all the gun scams saved me $$$.

Lots of assholes out there.
Must be cautious about who one deals with.
Slightly off topic but I've been a member on FSN since 2006 and dealt with many folks here.
I've never, ever had a negative experience with an FSN'er.

Amen.

He lost me at "Peace be with you..."

Nice google fu skills pulling original photos. Will save you time and money every time.

I'm assuming you outed him to the Admin of the forum.

Have to give the guy credit though. Not a bad job. He even added a touch of drop-shadow. It's going the wrong diection, but still. He way over sold on the first post though.

Nice catch!
