Beware: Keith Lopy <yoyogift8@gmail.com tries to hack accounts here

I still see someone falls victim of these scammers. The rule is simple, don't open links you receive in e-mails from the people you don't know, they will steal your account. This guy doesn't use PM, he uses e-mail. Beware.

I received this email yesterday. As opposed to opening his link, I copied my own sales link and sent it back to him. I have not had a response yet. I will say that his initial contact did come to me in a PM. It is there that he provided his email address. Scammers suck!

When you get a PM from a scammer, you can share it with the Mods by clicking “Report” when viewing the message. That would help stem the scamming spread of that account.

This username/password phisher, like many other phisher, contacted us via email. Not through the forum private msg function. So there's no way to report it to the mods.

The next best thing, is to flag the phisher's email here, so that it turns up on google.

Thanks Tim - been a busy time for the Mods. You’re wearing out a lot of digital shoe leather!

Please be aware that I am not in the market at this time for either buying or selling.
The one sending those e-mails with my user name are scammers and is definitely not me.
