User "smog" is a spammer
User "smog" contacted me pretended to be interested in buying a watch I list. Then sends me a phishing link.
How to go about banning him? ------ From: Smog <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, October 24, 2019 4:54 PM Subject: Re: Rolex Explorer II Hi, Thanks for your email... Am buying the watch as a birthday gift. I am ready to proceed with payment and shipping. Hope This is your advert on the forum before you send over payment info [bad link] Thanks |

You should delete the link so a member here doesn't accidentally click on it.
Notify the mods and hit the click on the red triangle under the username. |

PM'd me, too.
"Hello, Am interested in your watch, Is it still available for sale? Send me your payment details to my email [email protected], So we can conclude the deal." I emailed him from a burner account, telling him USPS money order only. Email bounces. PM box is full. Very fishy! |

I believe he meant that he emailed the scammer using a burner email account, not a burner TRF account. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
