So I've had this WTB ad posted for a while:

https://omegaforums.net/threads/mint-crisp-or-nos-1039-bracelet.115459/

Bumped it today and received a PM from new OF member @Matth3 ( <-- Mods, please ban this MF'r ASAP!):



Why can't Mr. "Kevin Alex" contact me himself? Why a 3rd party "Matchmaker" needs to connect us?
So I email "Kevin Alex" to get some info about the imaginary bracelet he has for me, and I get the following response:



The language in the email and the half picture of the bracelet looked awfully suspicious so I typed the email [email protected] into the google machine and sure enough...




Watch out folks! These lowlifes are out to get you and are lurking around every corner!

 

I’ve received and reported a similarly worded message from a new member @Matth3 giving a different email address

 

Ditto

 

Well done for starting this thread.

 

I heard that members with a high number of ignored alerts are particularly targeted.

 

All my WTB ads ended up quite well so...

 

Guess I better watch out!

 

But I’ve only got 2,200 ignored alerts

 

I got one too for my vintage buckles WTB of all things, not even real money!
The PM is gone so I suspect the mods have dealt with it.

 

Fake news...I'm currently at close to 18,000, and that's after hitting this (the limit) and resetting...



Never been the subject of a scam here.

 

I think they go after the WTB threads mainly as I’ve gotten one or two before from 1 post new members and just ignore them- and they go away- I assume due to the Mods.

 

Apart from all the other obviousr ed flags, he says no end links in the mail, but the picture clearly shows the bracelet has them!

WTB ads are an adverts for scammers. The only WTBs I've ever posted have only ever brought out illicit aproaches, so I don't bother with them any more.
