    We’re getting more and more “people” sign up, post hello on a couple of threads, then start PMing people about parts for sale.
    These are scams.
    You have been warned.
     
  2. You’re just jealous because the Prince of Nigeria gave me first dibs on his split screen for only £6000, I’ve sent the money via Western Union.

    You lot make me laugh :):)

    The point baysearcher makes is still very valid. There are people signed up here with dormant accounts who simply make a token post to appear genuine when they see a wanted ad and then PM the poster offering goods that they never receive. They usually have a username with numbers such as mike123.

    As BS says ‘ be aware’!

    Tbf, poptop2 joined a spammer and his first post was hello.

    back then we didn’t know what we know now so we replied.

    I like to believe we have rehabilitated a spammer, our own malc

    they joined a long long time ago so now just activating them. If people report the random hello posts or any message that is random we can take action
