                      You rock!


                      Not difficult to detect scammers, if a member has few posts, not valuable input for the community, or just plain posts pics of things you can find on google image search, then they are probably scammers...



                      That being said, I am a Nigerian prince and if you send me a check for $100,00, I will reply with $10m!

                          Looks like Joeming is another scammer, just got the famous “I have your item here is my matching gmail” message.

                            just got hit up from joeming0147@gmail.com, which a quick Google search gets hits from other forums complaining about this email tied to a scammer. Be careful all.

                                Yeah just got one from someone on here trying to sell me their OBC unit but then explained his Paypal was 'dormant' and that he only accepts Western Union or Cashier's Check..typical scammer response...bleh. Wonder if it would help if there was a buyer/seller rating system on here.
