scammer

Sorry Tony but i don't believe that i have '' the bull by the tail''.This is not the first time this subject has been broached in this manner.
Yes by all means be careful,as i said,use due diligence, but please don't bring out the ''didn't post enough'' bogey man. You are not doing the newer and non posting members any favor's.
I think you may have missed my other point.
I didn't say ''the real club'', i said the other ''club'' as opposed to the IIS community.
Frank.

It's up to him.
In the meantime just use caution and if a deal sounds to good to be true...well you know the rest.

I've banned Acazias this morning.
Sorry, can't reveal what it was that made me take this step, on open forum.
Like I said he was being watched and hence why I said to use caution if any offers are too good to be true.

We couldn't take this action before today.
If he turns out to be legit, Mike can re-instate him but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Thanks everyone.

Apparently, by trying to prevent people becoming victims of scammers, I am one of "the over zealous self appointed shark hunters that tar every little fish with the same brush just because they don't post enough". With that in mind I will no longer offer any more advice on scammers trying to rip people off on this forum.

I will also keep my contacts at PayPal Security to myself.

I will still continue to trust people well known on the forum and will still continue to extend credit on purchases to friends. I will also still send off items before receiving payment as I have done many times over the last few years.

Mate, everybody looks like a little fish standing next to you, even when you're sitting down.

Whoever it is just put the dope on 'ignore' Matt and continue on. Some people just aren't worth arguing with.
