They're scammers from Africa (Cameroon) that have been responding to WTB ads. Accounts are now banned.
Thanks to @flame for the initial report btw, never hesitate to ask us to check someone out if you're unsure.
I recently had PMs from two 0 post 'members' wanting to buy a withdrawn watch. The 0 post was a HUGE red flag and in the case of Shmagoo123 the request to message outside the fora was another. The other username was Kittypie23. I strongly believe they are scammers.
They had only one kitchen to offer for trade and I got DIBS Any trusted freight company to recommend for shipping my kitchen from Cameroon to Switzerland ? Was considering Western Union, and experiences to share?
I just posted a wtb add and received a pm from a member I didn't recognize. The member had two whole posts. Needless to say I did not respond. So frustrating out there to sift out the good from the bad. Thanks For the warnings.
Sometimes, but in this case, I can't see a noob excited to sell, especially, given the selling rules.
True , what I should have said was, "Do not hesitate to contact the mods for any suspicious activity or contacts, you may be saving fellow member heartache and loss."
Good point. Next time I feel a little uncomfortable I'll let someone know just to avoid any other members falling victim to scams. Thanks.
