Oh brother...A Tiger1 crashes onto my FBook...Today.

Post by jumpugly »

Hi Gang:
Been quite a while, but I hope everyone is well.
This (all metal?) Tiger crashed onto my Facebook home page today. Thought you'd be interested...
Best, Guy

I think this is what they call scam.

I tried the link and it's no good. It said page not found. We have something like this going over at RCU where I and another guy bought a similar type tank for about $60 just to see what it was. If you want to look up the thread over there it's called, "Anyone feeling adventurous?". You don't have to be a member to read the thread.

The link did work when I first tried it. It has gone now, so is deleted. Looks like RenoiLV might have been on the mark.

I opened the link in the early morning. The first picture was that of a Henglong all metal 1/16 Tiger with the front plate with their logo and writing on the left side. The next picture was that of a metal Tiger 2. The price was 59usd cut down from 119usd. That itself is the price of the basic plastic Henglong Tiger 1. With any luck you could get that masterpiece. But my guess is that you won't even get that.

Thanks Guys!
I felt like a scam and suspected a Heng Long Tiger 1. Like everyone, I grow increasingly suspicious of FB and what goes on there.
Uggh!

Facebook is a scammers playground. A similar one did the rounds with an expensive RC Rock Crawler going for a fraction of the normal retail. There is no such thing as a free lunch, but some people throw common sense out of the window when they think that they are going to get something for nothing. :/
