Scam warning

Hi all,

Just wanted to warn everyone of a very close call.

I'd recently put a WTB for some 575 endlinks. Last week I received an email saying I had a message from Scott78 letting me know that someone he was dealing with was looking to sell some.

He included the person's email address . I've attached screenshot of email below

First mistake , when I went to my message page it wasn't there , that should have been first red flag, so I went back to email to get address and sent an email enquiring about end links.

Received a quick reply and entered dialogue, was slightly weird that email was mikescott but reply was signed off - scott but maybe that was middle name they used normally.

Anyway, they sent picture which looked good and price seemed ok. It all starting to ring alarm bells when I mentioned paying by Paypal .



They quickly replied saying to pay with no fee, nor address so they could access money quickly and the Paypal name seemed against odds with who I thought I was dealing with.



Sent email, saying I was not going through with deal as I'd prefer to deal with someone in UK. They quickly replied asking what problem was . Obvious now it was a scam, so told them I was under police investigation and having to delete all my contacts and suggested they deleted theirs ;-)

Have now blocked them. Very close call

Just a warning to everyone .

Thanks so much. Not been on forum much over last 2 months due to work and wished I'd seen this earlier.

".. kindly make payment.."

Tons of red flags. Anytime someone uses "kindly", it's about as legit as the watch your uncle gave you.
