Icon4 BEWARE: Someone is trying to impersonate me.

Apparently a scammer is contacting members of TRF pretending to be me using the following email: kevn.noschang@gmail.com. This is NOT my email, and this is NOT me. Do NOT deal with this scam artist.

Peter, it goes without saying but DO NOT deal with this person. Glad you saw this thread before the transaction took place.

Yup!! I just received an email yesterday. Asking if my watch sold and then claiming he wanted to trade an AP15300 or AP15400 for it. After no response he sent a link asking me review it. PSHHH...
