..I'm betting he is a fraud...
A member of the S&W Forums sent me a way to look for the pics via Google image search... I'm not real computer savvy so it may take me a little while to figure this out..

Fraudulent sales on the newer mewe dot com site is rampant as well. People are posting all the time about how they got bilked out of hundreds of dollars for bullets, brass, dies, etc...

Close, but not the same. I put a Roadtrek RV on Craigslist and within seconds was hit by web bots looking for new suckers. In two days I had 6 different folks trying to convince me they just needed to "verify my phone" or check me out by following a link. I checked and found that they were trying to get $15 or 20 bucks with a bogus verify process. I also got professional negotiators who had cut and paste responses for all questions. They attempt to convince you to list it with them cheap; then you notice at sell there is a 50% consignment fee. I had folks in San Diego and in New Mexico trying to convince me to drive the unit over state lines and then they would negotiate. Too much to go into, but I will never use Craigslist again. Professional scammers have bots watching every new posting with auto responses. It's not just GunBroker.

I have a check nailed to the wall of my shop signed by Robert Mugabe, still dead and former dictator of some African country. He wanted to buy my 6 foot pto mower.

They probably have one guy who pulls out the frauds and he only works so much.

A number of sellers list their items on GB, GI and GA. When I see that I look for the location of the seller. If it doesnt match, keep looking.

My LGS was telling me how their guns on GB show up on Gunsamerica all the time. Is this something recent I wonder?
