Ignore any PM's from 'reggie'

A spammer signed up and started PM'ing people, offering to buy something, get in contact with them in Spain etc.

Please ignore and delete the PM.

I had one last year from a guy in Spain. It was fishy from the outset, but the guy was banned shortly after, IIRC.

Thanks Mike
Got one from him this morning.
Was just going to PM you about it, as it sounded dodgy, but i searched his name first and found this thread.
Cheers

Bob

Just to note not all people in Spain are dodgy, it's a pain in the bum as all these con artists out of Spain have practically ruined the secondhand market for us honest folk.

Good to see it was quashed quickly, well done guys.

He wouldn't even be from Spain, most of these scammers are based in Eastern Europe, Russia, China India and Nigeria.
The country they claim to be from is irrelevant. Mike can run an IP check on their registration and it will let him know where they are based.

I might be a bit to suspicious but it looks like " Reggie" may have changed to "Leo", a New poster from Sweden

skyfoto has already been banned. They must've sent some PM's before being banned.
