Likely Scammer

[ghay]

I don't know if this is where to report a scammer but brand new member Yojec33 is recommending a vender to contact via email. Somehow he got into a conversation I was having and said his friend had what I was looking for. I'm pretty sure he's a scammer.
Thank you,
Gary Hay

@yojek33

That is the scammer route modus operandi now.

PM any moderator - me or another will work and we can address the issue

Received a PM in response to my thread looking for some ammo. As you can see from the screenshot it has a high likelyhood of being a scammer.
Stay on your toes...tis the season!

Jerome has been made aware as well.

Another scammer, verified by original seller of the item. Good grief these guys are not very sophisticated. Anyway, here is a picture of what he sent me.

Just a thought, is it possible to block these guys by the IP address and the name that they use to attempt thier scamming, that would start cutting some of this down. If they cannot immediately make another account on the same device

Is there any chance we can get multifactor authentication @AfricaHunting.com ? It would cut the scams in half, specifically those legit members that have compromised accounts. As for preventing the new-signup scammers, that's a lot more complicated problem to solve.

Here's another one for you @BRICKBURN. They sent me an email over the weekend and I reported it.

Thank you @rookhawk for the suggestion, at this time we will not be implementing a multi-factor authentication. I do appreciate the suggestions that you have made over the years to better our community.
