Beware guy with email ozfsty@gmail.com
This guy messaged and emailed me about a listing I have in classified. In the email he says he wants to close on the deal right away with no questions asked. He then inquiries about a trade and provides a link with a list of pieces he wants to trade for. The linked site is setup to look like a TRF login page. It’s clear it’s fake by the url and lack of site certificate signature. I assume he is attempting to steal login credentials to make bogus sales. Beware of this user [mention]brandonmpennington [/mention] with email address ozfsty@gmail.com.

If you email him his response will reveal the scam when you check out the link.

I only dropped the note here. What’s the process for reporting?

As soon as someone receives a suspicious PM, they should report it to the admin and moderators by clicking on the red triangle with the exclamation point at the top right outside of the PM message. After you click the red triangle button a box will appear to type your message. And then come to the 'Watch Out' forum and post a message to alert others. I clicked the red triangle in one of your posts and Medmike is now banned. But he may have tricked someone else before he was banned. Use the red triangle as soon as read a sketchy PM! |

Yea the whole play on the scam is to get your ID then use it to get to other TRF users.
