WARNING: There are scammers exploiting the WTB thread

[Smiladon]

I had this exact thing happen on the WTB page.
@BennyHolmes sent me this message-

I recommend Michael at comichael464@gmail.com for you purchase..

I though it was crazy, mostly that someone responded so quickly to my request.

Just thought i should pass along, i don't see any other posts from this forum member.

[neph93]

That is almost certainly a scammer. Thank you @Smiladon. I’ll check it out and ban the tw@t shortly.

[Smiladon]

My pleasure @neph93
I didn't respond to them, thought it was too good to be true.

Same here, he's been messaging me as well and I've been playing along.  He sent me a pic of the "item" which he has and it just so happens to be the exact pic that is on the product description page.

[neph93]

Thanks gents. On it.

Assuming Tim the Scammer is the from the same squad of losers as the recent lot, they have read our posts here and have rather pathetically attempted to refine their MO to give themselves a more realistic cover. This includes the option of contact through the forum in their initial message, and in the case of this wanker some shitposting on the beer thread. It will take more than that I think…

I knew the username looked familiar. Was this the Modelo man ?

[neph93]

Yessir!

[Giles]

So, just to reiterate.  If you feel compelled to engage.  Demand a photo of the product with a note in the image with the minimum of date and forum name….
