There have been several reports of a scammer this morning - login name "Palonehunter". DON'T SEND ANY MONEY OR GIVE OUT INFORMATION TO THIS MEMBER!

The account has been de-activated.

I can tell you it is an American IP address and I approved it yesterday, login name and email seemed genuine.

Apologies if anyone has been adversely affected.

Thanks Adam. Another American who doesn't post. Will be tightening up access from that country from now on.
A GENERAL WARNING : Be very suspicious of anyone who gives you an e-mail address of someone else they know who wants to buy or sell something. There's been at least one earlier case of a forum member losing money.

Thanks Alan. I had him send me a message regarding a die I had posted a wtb for. I automatically thought it was a scam. They’re doing the rounds on all firearm related groups.
