This is a bit SUS
I had an AD in the ' Wanted ' Listings.....

This is what I received ......

A bit ' SUS ' ... I reckon.... no response after I sent him a message.

Take a look .... don't like it at all.

Nothing in his ' Public Profile ' ... and ' 0 ' Posts.

Mod's probably need to look at this fellow.

Time to play with him Col - tell him you are only interested if he can beat retail price of $4395.22

And keep going from there. I strung one Polish scammer out for around a month...

Remember if you have concerns click on the little red box with a white cross in it. Gotta be careful with these forum classifieds. But thanks for letting us know about him/her/it...

Exactly! They always come back, way to easy to for someone dodgy to sign up and post spam. Only a matter of time before something more serious happens.
