Anyone Had Messages From Thomas01?

I had a few messages form this fellow as well. Agree it seems odd

 

From Crispey a few days ago

“@Bryn beware a scam going on where someone, bogus member, will pm you saying they know of someone selling what you’re after, they’ll give you contact details of their ‘friend’ you’ll send them the money, usually PayPal friends and family or similar, but you won’t get the goods. Read of this somewhere else.”


and sure enough yesterday... message from Thomas01 telling me someone he knows has a front disc for a Bonneville SE and gave an email “Contact kerry in Texas he as a 2012 Bonneville Se Front Disc Here’s his email nealkerry61@gmail.com”


This needs sorting out

 

Yes , it's a scam of some sort. I was sent the email of a guy with a wheel for sale in Wisconsin

 

Yup, I got one too

 

Is Rob the name of site admin? Perhaps he can put a block on this guy's email?

 

Just click on "report". The scammer is a new member with no posts or replies.

 

And me, offering the e-mail address of someone in Texas selling a standard Sprint screen?

 

done it this morning

 

And I thought finally someone in Texas was going to send me a bulb shield for my Street Scrambler :-(

Hurrumph; the quest must continue...

 

One forum I use, new members have to make 10 posts before they get access to the pm system... Installed after one registered and sent a forum wide pm including a link to a very nasty porn site. And there's a spam filter running as, well, so if they put a hyperlink in a post, it goes into an approval queue.

Don't see a lot of spam on there.... Except when it's battered fritters... Mmmmmmm

 

bugger, I knew I should have answered that email.

 

Well, I know what's involved, so will happily say that you do a pretty damty fine job. It's a thankless task mostly, so here's a thankyou from me.
