Scam warning

Dgercp

Has anyone else received a PM from this member requesting a reference for a seller he is buying from and asking to click on the provided link?

0 posts

The last two sellers I bought from need no reference at all and one confirmed this tonight

Do moderators check this post to check the above member??

Glad you posted, I would send a message to a mod, and maybe have this moved to the Watch Out section.

Seems to be a lot of scammers out there. More than ever before.

I received one too from a member with decent post count. Two factor folks and don’t click links.

I received a PM from that user on 16 Feb and promptly reported him. I have one Rolex and two Tags, all of which were purchased from ADs, so no one here would be giving me as a reference.

The user has been banned.
