Watch out for people trying to steal your login!

Hey everyone on TRF so I had someone send me an email for my posting for my Rolex Submariner and he attached a link which was essentially trying to steal my login by asking me to click the link to view a "picture" but really it was a method to get my account details - username/password. So just wanted to give a heads up for these kinds of things. The person who emailed me was Roy Geary and the email attached is [email protected].

Clicking links in emails coming from people you don't know is a no-no.

Same person emailed me as well. Of course I did not fall for it because I know about this type of scam. To all those that don't do not click links that ask you to sign into your account once clicked. They will steal your login info

That's what happens when you have your e-mail in your FS ad.

One way to stop them is to use one of the MODs' emails instead of your own.
