scammer alert

[ekster]

in the last few months i have been contacted by people responding to a classified i posted over a year ago. suspicious after a few back and forths, so i check and they are new members supposedly with a deck or gear box i am interested in. any way be very careful of purchases without having hands on.

Might ask for pictures. Be specific, like show model number, or serial number, or a specific part of the item. Ask for other contact information, address. Check address on google earth to confirm they even exist.

You need to report the posts or PM so I can ban them.

all great advice however remember that now you can get a lot of that on line copy and paste. the ones that contacted me had pics. i never got to believing enough to ask for serial #
thanks for the advice. i hope it helps stop a few scams

This sounds like a lynch mob promising to hold a fair trial before they hang him.
I detest cheats and crooks as much as the next man but isn't the promise of "innocent until proven guilty" irreproachable?

The scams that they are pulling are pretty obvious.
