Look Immediately
Not sure where to post.
I was contacted about my 1803 President for sale by user : Bluemartinfan by email. I was sent an email by the user saying they were interested. I contacted them via text,email and PM. Received a text saying they were not interested. Then received a PM from Russ saying he was not actively looking. This morning I receive an email that say the following. Please be careful as when you click on the link it is trying to make you enter your username and password.

Looks like fraud, sounds like fraud, and smells like fraud. Report these scumbags.

Definitely a suspicious email, but the attached link's domain name looks like the real one.
Edit: can you view the email in plain text? I'm thinking if its a scam (most likely is), that there is a hyperlink embedded in the text making the link look like its from TRF but redirects your to a phishing site. Last edited by barneb10; 9 April 2020 at 10:50 PM.. Reason: added content |

I would copy your entire post here in Vintage and paste it into a new thread in the WatchOut section. Or ask a Mod to move this entire thread to WatchOut. The scammer may have been targeting your 1803, but he’ll likely target other seller’s listings in many sections. That’s why broader coverage is better by appearing in WatchOut. That’s where members go to check out problems. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Got it, banned. I had missed a letter when I was searching for him. I’d log out and reset your password since you clicked on the link. Did you log in from the link? If you did your account has been compromised.

Thanks for moving it Tim and jumping on the account. Is it possible Bluemartinfan himself unknowingly clicked on a similar phishing email? I know that’s hard to tell, but if his previous history was seemingly normal, then phishing could have snagged him too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
