Default SCAM Alert- HELP Us Help YOU!

I banned a scammer this morning: Dolapo

A Private Message (PM) that he sent in response to a WTB ad was reported to us at 6:55 am.
He was banned a few minutes later.

That's the good news.
The BAD news is that he has been sending PMs since April 5th!

I can't read PMs that you send or get.
When we find one of these scammers, I simply reset his password so I can log in as him and read his mail (PMs).

HELP US help you and other members!
When you get a cryptic, generic message like this:
Quote:
Hello

I do have a nice one up for sale
let me know if you have great interest
email work best for me [email protected]


Thanks
REPORT it to us!
Every PM has this at top right-
CLICK that triangle and report the PM so we can take a look at the guy.
It WON'T do any harm if the guy is not a scammer.
It is also likely that they will contact you by email IF your email address is in your WTB ad. You will have to report those to us in The Office.

Dolapo also used these emails:
[email protected]
[email protected]

If you haven't read this, READ IT!
