Beware, report, stay vigilant so that we can have a better Forum.

Thanks Larry, we appreciate.

On my first day as a member of this forum I PM'd another member about a possible trade. No answer, and I thought, "how rude." But after reading this, and other stories about scammers going so far as to clone the accounts of good, long-standing members, I don't blame him one bit.

This is one thing that can ruin a forum quick. If everyone keeps a keen eye out for these dirtbags and reports them so the Moderators can do their jobs. I must say the moderators and owners of this forum do a fantastic job keeping this forum clean, safe, professional and fun to visit. I for one would like to thank them.

Keeping this current, and relevant, for those unaware!!!

Never click on links sent to via PM, or Email. To much of this BS going on, and falling for it..
Once your account is hacked (from you clicking the phishing link, and login details are captured), the scum use your account to scam another member. Potentially thousands of dollars lost!

Please be aware members !
