Hey All,
As most are aware we've got a constant battle on our hands with scammers, in particular they like to target the "Wanted" ads.
Case in point a member yesterday posted up looking for a reasonably rare bit of kit, so I warned him to be wary of any offers he receives, sure enough today he confirms a scammer contacts him with said bit of kit, his username was Croshting475, upon checking his profile I see he'd received negative feedback from 4 members approximately 2 weeks ago, which is great, it all helps others.
BUT the guy was still here, still trying to con people, as negative feedback on its own doesn't automatically let the admin team (or us minions) know there's a scammer in our midst.
So I'd appreciate it if you identify a possible scammer, stick a post on this thread, ideally give his username with the @ symbol in front of it, for example @Tackle, as that makes it easier to go straight to his profile, we'll look at it, maybe pm you for further info, & if needed ban his thieving ass?.
Thanks guys, & remember, NEVER paypal friends & family, or bank transfer, no matter what sob story they give you.
Cheers
Mark
