Scammers

I suspect that there are scammers operating on the forum at the minute. Do not part with money unless you are sure that you can get it back via paypal or other means.

Have you reported them to the mods?

Mitsiman · 20-04-2017, 09:22 PM

yes

I've had 2 people saying they have what I want. I ask for pictures with their username on a piece of paper and never hear from them again.

As ever with transactions like this, unless you're picking up in person under NO CIRCUMSTANCES do a bank transfer or Paypal Gift - there is absolutely no comeback with your payment handler.

If you're really lucky you could take it to small claims court, but only if they give you some traceable details.

FWIW if you report the post/email the mods we will do our best to sort any scammers and give any details we have on the system.
