Is he a scammer just because he has zero posts?

Well the name gary123 with a ' at the end to me seemed like he was tryin to be somebody else. And kets be honest nobody with zero post is going to contact a wtb ad with good intentions.

Seems like common sense to me....

There is a gary123 from the UK but only has about 25 post. This guys name was gary123' sorry but when I messaged him right back and emailed and got no response it felt like he was either trying a scam or getting my email.

maybe I jumped to conclusions to fast but I have dealt with similar problems before.

I'm not saying he's not a scammer, but perhaps "anybody heard of gary123" in the who's who would have been a better thread title. You can certainly PM a mod if you suspect a scammer. I've done that before and they're quite responsive.

I just thought it was odd that a member who himself only has been here a week demands another member being banned without further explanations.

Been longer then a week and I have completed 3 deals with trusted sellers. If you have nothing useful to say then move on.

I already said I handled it wrong.

I've amended your post title.

The member has been banned, but not for your rather superficial reasoning and certainly not as a direct action blindly following a member instruction.

More sober and in depth checking has been undertaken and the account has been deemed bogus.
