Default Fraud Alert To All Members

Fraud -Alert

If you receive an email from either someone you don't know,


...or an email or private message through the services provided by this website, offering either Luger pistols or accessories for sale, there is a very good chance that the offer is a fraud.

A current method being used by professional scammers trying to get your money is to legitmately join forums and then contact other members through the private message system or through the email link in your profile.

They will likely offer a Luger or some other well known item at a very reasonable cost, and ask you to respond. If they have no postings (which you can check with the search feature) they are likely a fraud. report the user name to either Ed Tinker or myself.

BE VERY CAREFUL OUT THERE> There is reason to believe one of these scams is currently "working" the Lugerforum membership in this manner. Don't let your sense of getting a "great" deal get the best of you.

Ask for photos of the items, a legitimate email address from an ISP that is not one of the free ones like gmail, hotmail, yahoo, etc. A physical mailing address (No P.O. Boxes) that you can verify. Ask for references. AND NEVER PAY VIA Western Union or one of the other instant services ... once that money is gone... it will be gone forever. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

If you have any questions, ask them here.
