He just responded to one of my FS ads, with a TRF clone link. I've alerted a mod as well.

He is one of 4 PMs I got in response to WTB ads. All of them with 0 posts. Regret posting a WTB ad.

I realized this almost instantly after posting a WTB... now I want to post one just to troll for scammers. Haha,

And thanks so much for being aware and proactive concerning user concerns. It really sets this forum apart from others.
