Hi everyone I received a random message from a jacobson101 stating the following (intentionally spaced the characters out so no one can click on it, but the link DID not have spaces.

"I have a Rolex batman ii for sale or trade with any bigger brand of Rolex and i m willing to add cash on any purchase

see picture below.
https:// goo . gl / vyUY25 -- I sense this link is a re-direct to a phishing site.

Best Regards

Be careful.

Have you notified the moderators? If not, go back to the PM and click the red triangle with an exclamation mark and let them know.

Just got the same PM...

Already dealt with. Several members had the good sense to click the report button

When I clicked on the link for the posting of his supposed watch for sale it brought up a "Mock" page of the Forum but the URL was not in fact the Rolex forum. Of course wanted my Login & PW.

I'll report it if hasn't already been done.

BE CAREFUL! The list of bona fide good guys on the forum is long so why gamble with any unverified & obscure Users.... thats my take

just curious...where do these thugs low life come from? IP address origin?

‘batman ii’ was the fail in itself.

Even if not a scammer, deserved a proper banning for even thinking that would get me to click.

Maybe it would be good with limiting PMs for new members until they reach a certain post count?
