Scam?

I have a watch for sale on the forum. I keep getting emails (not through the forum) saying "interested, is it still available?" One guy sent me a link to the forum asking me is this the watch. I changed my password. What do you think?

Yes SCAM! Go change your password again and watch for new threads with your name on them.

Did you change your pw after clicking the link, or as a precaution? And which guy sent you an email? Etc. Etc. Etc.

This is how your post reads:

1. You receive email with a link.
2. You don't say whether you clicked the link or not.
3. You change your password.

Click or no-click?

OP was active this afternoon and hasn’t responded to two different moderators asking if he clicked on the link in question. Preemptive ban.
