You know this sort of thing is everywhere on the internet. This is so obviously someone up to no good, do we really have to warn people that it is a scam?

I think, for a man, it would be more interesting if OTHER things "dropped off" :hunf: :mrgreen:
Can we guess what that might be?

How would the mods catch this if it comes in a PM? That's actually a clever way for a spammer/scammer to dodge the moderators.

Mods can not catch what goes by PM that is why it is helpful when it is reported to us then we have a place to start looking.

Thank you for waving the "red flag". Hopefully posts like yours can prevent some else from getting taken by these horrible people.
