Icon4 **** WATCHOUT Scam in PMs!! ****

I have just received a PM from member (boa2) which i think a compromised account
Asking for a listing without mentioning the reference number attaching a link with it.

Obviously wanting me to open the link and sign in to page that looks identical to TRF!!

I knew that my account would have been compromised if i signed in. I am trying to find a MOD to forward the PM to.

Pls be aware guys those scammers are getter better and better

The following is the source code of the pm I got from boa2. Clearly the href links don't match. I'm sure his account will be suspended shortly until they can get it sorted. Hopefully no one falls for it.

Hello, is the watch you are selling still available? I am very interested but was curious if you selling the same watch as the one from this thread?<br />

I know you are a very trusted member so I will probably take it regardless. How do you prefer payment?<br />
<br />
Thanks.<br />

Ok just talked to Howard the owner of boa2 and clearly he has been hacked. I have banned his account and will advise Admin and Mods. These scammers have been active and stealing lots of good guys accounts. Members need to stay cautious. These guys have hit Howard on other forums not just here. So thanks for warning and stay vigilant all!
