    ... and another one: “Have you checked with Tash via toh262626@ outlook.com has an ********** he wants to part with”. 

    They come in as comments on WTB threads, and they come as private messages. If you receive a similar message then please let me know.
    I had one of these.

    I was also targeted by said individual, but quickly worked out it was not right. Apols for slow reporting, been a crazy week. Thanks to all for keeping an eye out

    I'm guessing that this scammer may be named Tom? Just a psychic feeling I have.

    Someone with nickname Ralphgentoo PM'ed me about a Marshall CODE 25 and suggested we deal by email. I ignored it, but having seen this I though it was a good idea to report it. Same modus operandi others have employed.

    @maharg101 You're not the only one they’ve contacted. This is an industry. Banned, but they’ll be back.

    No reply from Stevecrispe since I responded to them asking if I have an email address with this reply:
    I do. But please post the pictures somewhere public like Flickr. As you've no history here, and there are continual scammers. Ta. Or put up a post in the classified section here.

    Joined yesterday afternoon. No posts. 99% sure. Anyone else seen them ?
