Scams involving PMs with fake RolexForums links

Got another PM asking me to click a link that will obviously turn out to be for a fake RolexForums website, to phish my username and PW.

From:
dlek4

Hello,

I am about to purchase a Rolex watch from a member on TRF and you have been selected as one of his ref which is why i am writing you. Price is fair enough and seller has some past history posting on the forum, So i was curious and thought it would be worth the due diligence.

Please kindly check link for the post and share your experience with him

http://
old.rizzleman.com/ RolexWatch/ RolexWatch/ RolexForums.html

Thanks for your time.


dlek4 is obviously a scammer.

Usually when you are asked to "kindly" do something or other in these types of emails it is a scam.

Should be possible for mods to filter for all pms containing rizzleman or rolexforums.html

Looks like a Tucows domain. Registrant lives in East Sussex, GB. Unfortunately, you can't find jack about people from their domains since GDPR.
I've sent an email to their abuse contact, so we'll see how that goes.

Flag the PM for the mods. I got the same scam a few weeks ago, notified the mods and they took care of it and likely banned the scammer.
