If you replied to an EE ad that requested an e-mail address for pictures. A few days later you receive two very grainy photos of just the rifles action. The description of the rifle is very basic, so you pm the seller three more times over the course of two weeks looking for a better description, only to be ignored. You then notice that the ad has been bumped and therefore still active. Would you warn your fellow CGNers of a possible scam? Any suggestions?
What would you do?

Time will bring what you are looking for.
As soon as you git yer arse all flustered and buy something
just to ease the pain, the deal will unfold before you.
Go tug yer weenie to release sum pressure.

I have learned that if you just wait a little longer, the gun you want will always come up again.
I've had that happen before with the exception that the photo(s) were posted in the ad.This guy obviously does not want to deal with you,best just to move on and take note of who the seller was for future ignoring of your own.
I'd walk away, this doesn't look good. He's probably hiding something or it's a scam.
17 responses and no one seems to have actually answered the question that the OP stated. He didn't ask if he should still be interested, he thinks it's a suspicious ad that may be a scam and he's wondering if it's causeworthy to inform others...In my opinion NO. It would be unfair to slander the ad as fraud or a scam just based on your limited experience with the seller. You have to be able to trust someone that they are innocent until they actually scam someone. Yes, the scenario for you seems sketchy and you aren't comfortable buying from them, as many others aren't as well, but let other people make that decision for themselves.
Thank you.
The EE has rules... We were trying to tell him to steer clear of the deal as step 1... It would be against the rules to report the add as wrong / suspicious without fraud..m
. As we have told him, it's buyer beware...
