Possible scammers in the forum/suspicious activity

[tonypap]

Ok, so this is way too suspicious and I feel I should let the rest of the members know, hopefully doesnt happen to anyone else and maybe these accounts get removed from RF.

On september 9th I recieved the following private message from user: NIKKOLE

Price is very well below market price and seller has some past history posting on the forum, So i was curious and thought it would be worth the due diligence.

He gave me two references email to contact, the other is very positive about seller. Here's the listing, If you're curious about it on TRF.



Your reply is highly appreciated!

Thanks.

I tried to click the link she provided but that link leads to a non existent page on the site. I replied back asking for who this person was because I couldn't access the link. Then I realised that theres an "invisiontraders.com" link in there and not an actual RF link. Shady for sure.

The next morning at like 3 am, I received an email that someone tried to log into my account and used the incorrect password 5 times and the account had been locked. Way too coincidental this happened less than 12 hours after receiving that PM from NIKKOLE. I have since changed my password.

JUST IN CASE: In the event any of you have received a PM from me, its spam and didn't actually come from me.


ALSO non related, a few weeks ago I posted a WTB and I was instantly messaged by 2 different members both who had joined the forum the same month both of which had zero posts. Both had almost identical messages with insane prices and requests to contact them on whatsapp. Guaranteed scam. These members were DELLA96 and PELEG49794

Third, DON"T click on links from unknown people, here or anywhere else. Doing so is exactly what the want from you.
