Beware of scammers on forums

Not on this Forum but it could happen

I posted a wanted ad for some parts on the G wagon forum

One "member" of the forum responded to my ad claiming he knows someone who has what I want and gave me an email address
When I asked for pictures of the parts, I got something which wasn't even a Benz part at all
Although the seller claimed he was in Preston (5 minutes away from me), he wouldn't agree to me inspecting unless I pay 50% first
English was very strange and poor

I reported the comms to the Forum moderator who checked the IP and guess what, from Nigeria

So be careful, they are everywhere even on Forums not just Guntree of Facebook

The one accusation you couldn’t make is that they are lazy. Poor mate from Nigeria probably has this huge allocation of pony club, sporting goods and 4wd forums allocated to him by the ring boss like some sort of fishing quota rights and he is diligently working his patch 😂

OK ... my kids showed me how ... 😃

 Fortunately it hasn't happened to me. Though she already knows I'm a pervert and doesn't need to do any spying 😅
