BEWARE:

I received this message from user bemeyn4029 regarding some ammo that I had up for auction.

Hello, I do not want to waste your time and put a bid I would not be able to complete or need to cancel , this is my first time buying , please check my FFL and paperwork in highlighted pdf link FFL AND PAPERWORK if it is valid for this purchase, my selections screenshots are also added.please verify then i will go ahead.

The link that showed as "FFL and Paperwork", took me to a phishing site. Fortunately, I have very good anti-virus protection and it warned me and stooped me from following the link.

I wanted to warn others and also ask if anyone else has had this issue.

I feel that Gun-Broker needs to start doing more as far as allowing people on to the site by requiring the same credentials from buyers as they do sellers. What are your thoughts?

Thanks, Jim
