Hello all.
I wanted to bring to everyone's attention the following website that advertises military collectibles (many of which members of this forum would be interested in) that is actually a big fat scam.


The items are advertised at incredibly low prices (maybe 1980s or 1990s prices), but the prices and items themselves are too good to be true. The photos look like they may be copied from the IMA website, but I'm not sure. In any case, these people have no intention of selling you anything, and you will be out any money at least temporarily until your payment method conducts a thorough investigation prior to reimbursement of your funds.

For all the legitimate collector sites, there's always at least one...

I just found another website that appears to be a scam website:

Look out for https://heyjudedesigns.shop/product...ube-Helmet-Shell-by-Otto-Nachtigall-of-Berlin

The price here is more reasonable, but I checked, and they have an alleged physical address, but no phone number. A business with no phone number...

In any case, I'm on a roll now, so I'm looking for more.....

Cheers,
Tim
 
The photos do mostly come from IMA, which is common on scam sites. A good sign, even if you do not recognize the images, always look for photo consistency, as many fake or scam sellers will use multiple sites for their listings, and its wise to use Google Reverse Image Search to make sure of the origins of photographs.
