HL 1/8 Tiger 1 full metal version

[Irishtiger]

Hi all, just new to Hobbysquawk & have a question
just bought a HL Tiger1 1/8 full metal version for 159.00 Dollars with free shipping. Bought it from Model collector on-line which seems pretty ok site as they have lots for sale. Was just looking online for the same tank & see them @ 4000 dollars or more. Now I’m getting a bit worried, have I been had ?

Yep!

Bet they send you an all plastic 1/16 scale or something smaller.

Recheck the site. Sometimes it is a multiple listing with a dropdown tab for a specific item, like a gearbox for $159 but the full tank at $4000. I saw that once on a metal Maus tank for $169, but the tab showed multiple parts and prices. If so, "caveat emptor" but otherwise it's a scam site.

How about posting the website and company you purchased from so we could investigate it further.

The website is called modelcollectors.com & there is a good few photos of 1/8 tiger tank & there’s no drop down menu
I’ll try & post photos of it from site

Just went back to check if there is any drop-down tabs & none. Think itv be done :-(

All the RC tank pictures on their site have Motion RC watermarks. Looks suspicious.

You all better look at these two things:

It's a scam!!!!
Always do full research before dropping the dime!
"IrishTiger" I would be contacting the credit card company you used and file an Immediate dispute on the charges.

Log into your credit card financial website to see if the charge has been posted and processed. Once it has, you can file a dispute either by phone call or on your financial's website. Just explain clearly that the seller's website is a scam you fell for.

It was too good to be true, should’ve checked it out first instead of jumping at it for that money. Thanks for your help cmdrcody 👍

How did you order merchandise from a website that is available for sale? How could you copy pictures from a fake website?

The "visit store" link is a spammer site. I suspect the "modelcollectors.com" is a group of spammers.
