I had a bet with @neph93 that this guy was a scammer. Banning now….
A bet I did not take as I was in total agreement that the odds were excellent. It is a little frustrating being able to spot these morons by their choice of user names, but not really being able to do anything about them until they have a punt.

The user binnetedaniel is trying to scam by sending a pm and redirecting me to e-mailing his "buddy".
He signed up today and has no posts on the forum.

This guy Farid Mohd I know. I worked with him in Macau, he was working in the same hotel as me. he went back to Malaysia and then 6 months resurfaced in Macau in another hotel. Slippery character as Arthur Daly would have said, Terry would probably have sorted him out.

It's sometimes best to sell on apps like PoshMark or Mercari, the money is sent the company and they pay you when the customer confirms they've received the product or they release the money after 3 days if they don't confirm it…you don't have to worry about your paypal account involved, if they dispute it goes to the company and not you directly. Shipping labels are generated by them so they have all the proof that packages were received.... I've been selling on those apps for over 2 years, I've never had issues

I received a message from davisryan248 through the forum letting me know his "buddy" had the flannel I wanted and I should email him directly. When I emailed him he sent me pictures of the flannel that were obviously taken from the IH site. When I asked how he wanted payment, he wanted it to go to another friends PayPal account and I was instructed to ONLY use the friends and family option. When I asked why he told me that this PayPal account could only accept friends and family payments. When I expressed my concern about this he told me that I could pay half now, and half when I received the shirt. I asked for a picture of the shirt with today's date and his name written on a piece of paper next to the shirt and he became hostile. Obviously, I did not go through with the sale. Watch out for davisryan249.

I’ve had a couple of reports of user accounts that are obviously spammy/scammy starting to direct message people on the forum. The content is flirty/suggestive and asks users to switch comms to email.
This is probably a new tactic to avoid the moderating that happens when scammers post on threads. We can zap those guys quickly. In order to keep the forum as «clean» as possible, if you recieve a shady DM, please message me with the content of the DM and the username of the sender.

Just wrote an E-Mail to Graham with a screenshot of a shitty message that I received.
