    I've sent out a bulk PM to the OP in all of the WTB posts he's hit to notify them not to contact him and banned his ass, we just needed to keep the posts until we could make a list of everyone he approached, avoid this asshole at all costs and as always, stay safe and be careful

    Regards

    By all means try to get some details off the asshole and tip him into the cops if you can, the IP address was in Houston but it could have been just relayed from south america or wherever

    And while we try to do our best to notify people and keep these guys at bay, always be careful in your dealings and ask whenever in doubt whether privately or publicly.

    Similarly try not to get offended or annoyed by someone wanting to check your references or credentials, and if asked about a legit guy you know and trust, take the time to vouch.

    We have a GRG at the bottom of our parrots cage. He doesn't really use it, so for $200 it's yours :thumbsup:
