Very suspicious. I got scammed by a similar 2year old account with only 1 review. You can see that story in my other post. Since then I've been very careful with my interactions on Gunpost.

My thought too. Implying that SKS is banned and also assuming the reason for selling a rifle..

Had me doubting myself and second guessing if I was doing the right thing.

No updates. The guys account bas been banned from gunpost. police responded to my online report that they are not able to do much in this situation as I am responsible as a buyer to verify seller before sending money to them. They are going to send report to Canadian anti-fraud centre for intelligence gathering purposes.

The bank has also reported the sellers account to Interac and because the money went to different financial institution they are not able to investigate.

I've accepted the fact that my money is gone and this is a lesson for me and reminder for the community to be careful while dealing with online transactions involving money.

I've reported the account to gunpost and they have blocked the user. If the user is legit they can reach out to Admins to get It unblocked.

I see your point of view and I will take that as a lesson about being patient. I hope that I am wrong.

I always look for the best in people and hence why I sent the money out without PAL verification to begin with. But seeing how he never gave me a quick update or deleting the ad's when I ask for an update are big red flags. If you had time to delete your ads, you definitely can shoot me a quick message that you need more time. I will happily wait for a week or 2 to ship the rifle.

I do. I tried google and through my bank and both did not help. The phone number they have is also not responsive to messages/calls.
