I’ve gotten a couple of e-mails from an anonymous sparkly new user that both say this:

Hello, I need any item I can get.I am the major sponsor of a charity organization in Africa but we are based in the UK.So I need a list of items and I ll make you a collective offer for everything. Get back to me as soon as you can.

anybody else getting these?

enid, ok

and forgive me if this is legit.

enid, ok

I’m an egyptian princess and if you send me $5000 to hire a search party to find my magical sphinx, I’ll send you $20,000 back next week :)

kitty, it’s a done deal!

...I am so gullible. :)

enid, ok

haha, honestly though, I do think it sounds really weird. I’d be wary. Do you have the name of the user who sent it to you? You may not be ready to disclose that info. Did you message back?

just send the email link to Orlando and he’ll dispose of this person’s profile. :-3

Burbank, CA

I got the same e-mail and told the person they were creepy. . . so they never emailed back.

Yeah, they contacted me with the EXACT same email. I was like EXCUSE me? And they sent me the whole charity thing. Just delete their emails and ignore them.

Blanco, TX

Orlando deleted the scammer.

HAWTHORNE, CA

I just got a similar email from “vikicini” so…. be on the lookout?

I just got one of his emails today too…. he is def not deleted!

South Dakota

Yeah. I just got that e-mail, too. I forwarded it to Orlando and I’m sure he, or another admin, will handle it when they have the time.

Irvine, Ca

I just got this one:

Hello I am a buying agent and one of my clients is really interested in some of the items you are offering on this

website.Therefore get me a list of the items you want to swap and I ll pay you for them.

Please reply to directly to my email address:[email protected]

I ll be waiting to hear from you.

I just received the same e-mail. I googled their e-mail and I cam up with this website: http://www.aquarist-classifieds.co.uk/scams.php

It talks about how they are scammers who offer to buy your items and then send you a cheque for more than the stated amount. They then ask you to send the remainder of the cheque amount to them, letting you keep a bonus amount. Their cheque is worthless and cash yours straight away.

True to form! I just got that email too, the 3rd time I have gotten an email from them. I suppose we just ignore them and Let Orlando oa another admin decide what to do. Just be on the lookout, and I hope no newbies get fooled =(

Blanco, TX

I got one from that guy too. I got two of them, actually!

Petange,

Another alert to watch out for…its for Ebay though. I had someone “buy” my item, then email me to tell me that once they got the tracking number, they would send payment. Do not fall for that BS.

Fort Worth, Tx

Any time you see these, just forward the message to me and I’ll get rid of those clowns.

BISCAYNE PARK, FL

Yay! Cheers for Orlando and everything is okay with the whole world again :rainbow:
