Hi All,
It has come to our attention that a member on this site has been approached by a banned member looking to do a deal on some cables. This is undoubtedly a scam, so please beware if you are contacted. The member username in question is "2e0btx", email address is 2e0btx@gmail.com.
The scammer most likely got a hold of some of the email addresses in the short time between him joining and being banned.
I would ask that if you are contacted, please send me a pm to let me know.
Fran

Re: POSSIBLE SCAM ALERT!!
Yep, thats the kind of it alright.
The IP address is from Nigeria. Now while I don't want to cast about slurs on nationalities, that location doesn't exactly inspire confidence does it?
Needless to say, don't even reply.

Hi all,
Got the same email regarding my ad looking for monoblocks about 6 weeks back. Deleted now but it was so obviously a scam that I ignored it. I'm still waiting for that Viagra I ordered though... :-)
