Don't think everyone knows, just cos we usual members know does not mean all know what goes on in many market forums. Everyone should be made aware of such scams.

Well I.m pretty disgusted to be honest .. obviously the phones I am selling are not good enough for him to try and scam me as I never got one

its a little surprising that several members seem to have received this and yet I haven't received a PM about who this member is.
Has anyone who has received this PM contacted a moderator?
