watch the scammers!

[xitsurf]

Hello
 
  thought you might like to read the conversation i had with a scammer-  they will really try hard .  they think they have you so watch out when placing wanted adds..( i have had a wanted add on here for ages wanting some bumpers)
  Read from the bottom up- of the email conversation below.
  there were some pictures sent from him-  first wrong bumpers-  then he magically had the right ones. 
  i sent him a picture with a request for a measurement-  that really stumpted him/her!!
  Just be aware!!

  I was contacted by user  raymondwes=  zero posts
he said..

"hello are you still interested in getting this?.
you can contact Ryan he has a ONE piece bumpers alfa 105 1600 gt for sale........... PM him @ ryanbull283@gmail.com"

email conversation..
Hello Damien,not heard back from you ? Do have a beautiful day ahead....

Another two.
Mronnie and kennedyronnie34
Both zero posts and both signed up today.
Each sent the same/similar message:
"hello, are you still looking for the above item? contact jeff.millard27@outlook.com to inquire if it's still available." And
"hello, are you still looking for the above item, you can get in contact with peter on peternillsmith@outlook.com if still available."

[Jonno QLD]

Same as pbhawkin, had both those accounts ask,

"hello, are you still looking for the above item, you can get in contact with peter on peternillsmith@outlook.com"
"hello, are you still looking for the above item? contact jeff.millard27@outlook.com to inquire if it's still available."

Might be a little more convincing if they don't send these messages a minute apart.
