I posted in the WTB for a DD, and this guy, with no post count, sends me back-to-back PM's saying,

"i have what you looking for okay you can mail me johnhenrythompson09 gmail dot com"

and...

"i want to sell a wristwatch to you"

No thanks.

Did you notify a mod? I suggest you do so they can handle this so no one gets scammed.

Sounds very legitimate. It would have been interesting to see what he was attempting to sell.

I thought about playing along, but didn’t want some poor n00b to get scammed in the meantime.
