It's very interesting to me how all that is good and evil about humanity is exhibited in every nook and cranny of the internet and it's all right there on the screen on your desk in real time.
I'm reminded of this quote: “We've all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare. Now, thanks to the Internet, we know this is not true.”― Robert Wilensky

Just a note for the Admin team. I am a moderator on a forum and we use a tool called Spam-o-matic. If you get spam registrations, spammers or unsolicited advertising, you can just select the member and send to the Spam-o-matic It deletes their posts, removes them from the forum, bans their IP and adds them to a global network of sites that will have the effect of banning their IP from other forums where they can try to do the same thing. It's pretty good and will work on this forum too. HTH

These guys are still trying to steal your information. !!!!
Use the red and white triangle that is on the blue box above your pm messages to report these pm's Keep it up and they will find that TRF is not a gold mine to your computers..

Consolidated list or post?
BTW folks, is there a consolidated list or post whereby we can have all the scammers' names consolidated into that list or post? Apology if I am asking the obvious or missed out some instruction somewhere in this thread. Thanks.

I got an email to confirm my account with a link. Is it legit?
Edit: Looks like a phishing email. Be careful!

Damn I always send links in PMs to the sellers so we know which watch we are talking about. Most sellers have multiple posts...I gotta stop to avoid confusion.

Received a PM from member Punzi2
He has 0 posts and Nov 14 join date. He replied to a WTB ad and is now harassing me via email. He claims he had a watch, when I asked for photos they had watermarks that were obviously not his. |
