Have received a pm this morning, relating to a thread I commented on about a sport design steering wheel. Replied to the email suggested, and got a quick and positive response. Just checked and flymarkd has zero posts... scam???? or am I being overly cautious??

Definitely scam. There have been a few with the same content
 
It's a scam. I got the same one.

We should try and figure out a way to sting this mo-fo!
 
Thanks guys - assumed it to be the case.... but you never know!
Will report to admin
 
Is he wanting money or product ??
I had one a bit back tried sending me a fake pay pal , I went along with it pretending I'd taken the bait but instead of sending him the goods I sent a dog turd in a box :)
 
Yep 100% scam , good to post it for discussion as it makes others on here aware, and yes 100% let admin know so they can block the user :thumb: :thumb:

I wondered who had sent me a turd in a box, after a very thorough manual inspection I came to the conclution it was K9 :grin: :grin: :grin:

he offered to sell me a product - wanted bank transfer. I questioned if could pay with paypal for security, to play him along - but he came back saying bank transfer only.
 
Tell him you need him to send £5 to you to confirm that the details are right, and then you'll send it right back!
