SCAMMER WARNING: Due to a spate of recent scam attempts (some successful) recently, if you're doing a deal in the classifieds, ONLY USE PAYPAL GOODS AND SERVICES UNLESS YOU KNOW THAT INDIVIDUAL PERSONALLY. It's really not worth saving a few quid.

There is a Facebook advert by a guy called Owen Hasheur. He has a pink Paisley Stephen Stern Penguin for sale.

It's a scam advert. Don't be taken in by it. A deposit will be requested and that's the last you'll hear from him.

I suspect Owen is a genuine guy whose account has been hacked. Looks like a decent guitarist - if anyone knows him, could they let him know and get him to change his password?

    Facebook accounts are usually cloned rather than "hacked', so changing password will have no effect. Worth reporting to facebook though.

    Just saw this on Facebook and was drooling over the Gretsch as well as his acoustic playing.  How can Facebook still allow this to be listed across multiple groups - its almost like they can't be arsed to do anything about scammers on there

    He's blocked me so I can't see the advert. If you can, please report it.
