These are all members currently with hacked accounts!

This is a warning to the membership, that there is a current epidemic of hacked accounts trying to scam the membership.
The scam is sending a fake link that forces you to login to TRF with the intention of hijacking your account.
If anyone here is currently involved in a sale with one of these members, and has not made payment, I suggest you do not!!
We are currently not sure if there are more accounts in jeopardy, so this post is to be made aware of the problem!
Always double check any links provided, & never assume these to be legitimate.

Administration is vigilant in the problem, rest assured!

People, make a habit of actually changing your passwords frequently and please don't use "Daytona" or "Submariner" as a password! (not saying these guys above did)

Hi Mod...this is Patrick aka OCROLEXGUY. I thought I would share with you that the initial pm that created this mess was from Sandler77. I do not believe that he is a victim, rather the perpetrator. I hope to regain access to my account soon.

Administration update.

OCROLEXGUY has now been re-instated.
All account status has been restored.

This issue of a hacked account is serious.
For the membership, please be aware that no account is susceptible.

Be aware of all links and the source......

CORPORATE, do not deal with!
Another hacked account has now been removed....
The account holder above has been hacked and effectively banned!
Anyone thinking or in negotiation with this member should cease any further communication..
If a deal is to good to be true, it almost always is!! Be vigilant and don't concede to the tricks of low prices, fake links and or a request for payment with Western Union!!
