A good trick I use if Im questioning pictures that someone sends me is to ask them to write something on a piece of paper and take a picture of it next to the gun. Its a sure fire way to tell if they actually have the gun or not at least.
 
As others have noted the lack of any identifiable markings is suspect. Are they non-shooting replicas? Is the seller claiming these exact specimens are for sale? Or is he just using these as representations of what he has to sell? Said pictures look like stock photos to me. Did you ask what year/maker the guns in question are? More context would help here.

As a relative noob I must also suggest purchasing the Karabiner K98k books available here: https://www.thirdpartypress.com/product-p/bookset1_2.htm

They are THE resource on K98k rifles. They will save you pain and money. They are your friends.
 
Pretty sure the pictures were lifted from Pinterest. The stock looks strange, blued take down disc and all. Airsoft/prop rifle comes to mind. The P08 looks weird as well, I'd guess all items are movie props.
Are Western Union and Moneygram the seller's preferred forms of payment?
 
I don’t get a good feeling about this. I would stay away but you should follow your comfort level.
 
The verbiage alone reeks of Nigerian...and the rifle looks suspect. I would not take the gamble on that one.
