SM911 Posted 13April, 2015 Report Share Posted 13April, 2015 I had two emails from a member with zero posts 'Revscene', offering to find items for me - via a gmail account and in the US. Based on my pelican experience (and I've had a few)- avoid these PMs (scammers) like the plague. Revscene - if you read this - and if you are indeed legitimate - prove your bona fides before offering to 'help' with wanted ads. Moderators - if you have an issue with this post please PM me. I'm making this post in full knowledge that I'm operating at the edge of the envelope but doing so to prevent members being scammed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew F Posted 14April, 2015 Report Share Posted 14April, 2015 We occasionally get these scammers on the Astronomy forum. Offering to source expensive gear for el-cheapo prices. Problem is some unsuspecting (read Over-trustworthy) people fall into their web of deceit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ByronBayChris Posted 14April, 2015 Report Share Posted 14April, 2015 I've gotta say that I'm disappointed that he obviously doesn't think I'm scam worthy! Dejected.
