Found Be aware!! User Smith007 SCAM!

[Marky79]

Just a warning if this guy is contacting you, Smith007

He is sending emails for WTB threads, asking you to email some tyrell guy away from the site. BEWARE.

He mailed/inboxed me this -

I purchased some parts from Rich some days ago and S3 8P 2.0 TFSI Upgraded HPFP is among the parts he showed me that he wanted to part out with. Maybe you should contact him to know if it is still available.. His email is williamsrichard638@aol.com

 

[***DK***]

Yeah I got one last night. Blocked him straight away. New user as of yesterday, no posts before, clearly not legit.

@Sandra is aware of this, I had a similar thing recently and also a while ago when I posted. Just be very weary when a brand new user approaches you on here, most likely it's a scam. Sad times we live in...

I too have had exactly the same message today regarding something I had on a wanted post.

 

[Sir Chumpalot]

Same here. Just ignored it and will block.

I got exactly the same regarding a FMIC. Seemed very fishy and very cheap for what it was.

It wasn't that elaborate sadly..registering yourself in 'Florida' on a UK based website wasn't the most intelligent move to begin with..

Scum bag, I gone done over the other month by one on here. I was so naive and I’m still kicking myself now, I lost out on £100.

 

[HertS3]

That's awful, you trust people and get stabbed in the back!

Can we not block new users from PM'ing people, so need x (20 ish)amount of posts before they can PM members. I've had this on other forums and it's never been a problem. Too many scumbags around and forums can be prime hunting grounds!

Very good idea, it will cut most of them trying to get anything out of us.
