2nd wanted add, 2nd scam


Morganflyer joined today and answered my wanted add, saying rockjason943@gmail.com had what I wanted. Absolutely no records associated with that email address. Looks like Morganflyer is a fake scam account. FYI. Just a warning to all.

Yes it is a scam. I got that same email address from Petethercfreak.
This type of scam is like a plague at the moment.

To be somewhat safe only buy from sellers with a proven track record, or buy new

For years I watch people try to be the English teacher on forums. It's a joke. And sad to think these people have nothing better to do in there lives then to pick on people on how they spell a word in forums. What sad life they lead. Most people are trying to type fast and not spend the time to look at what they type. And most don't know about spell checker but spell checker doesn't check grammar! I live in the country side upstate not the big city. I spell New York! And Boston!

One thing that would work (they won't do it, but what the heck here goes) would be to allow members to automatically block new signups from posting in their classifieds ads or PMing them, for a set time period. That would really burn our returning idiot, when he tries to figure out what's going wrong. Of course it would all have to be setup so that there is no message given to the person, letting them know why they can't post in the ad/wanted thread or PM the member. Maybe set it up so that every time they hit enter, it takes them to either Chit Chat or Humor, on a toggling basis.

Maybe just setup a keyword search, where if a new member tries to PM someone with the word "lipo" and then direct them to a gmail address, it:
1. starts a thread in chit chat and posts their message there
2. immediately suspends the account

I'm not going to spend an extra second of my life on these idiots. If people would just be smart and do their due diligence...this would never be an issue.

People that pay F&F are willing victims.
