    Spam from Classified Ads?

    Got this pm regarding my ad in the classifieds, looks like spam/scam.

    As for the payment, I would need you to get back in touch with the last asking price as I will be paying with a certified cheque.

    Lastly, please forward to me your full company's (or house address, telephone and fax) details as I will subsequently prefer reaching you through these facilities.

    Yours interestingly,

    Sounds fishy.. Who writes like that??
    "The Christian god can easily be pictured as virtually the same god as the many ancient gods of past civilizations. The Christian god is a three headed monster; cruel, vengeful and capricious. If one wishes to know more of this raging, three headed beast-like god, one only needs to look at the caliber of people who say they serve him. They are always of two classes: fools and hypocrites."

    Thanks for letting me know - If we don't know the username - and people jsut post in General Discussion- then we can't ban them.

    So please - instead of just posting "I got PM'ed by a scammer" - let us know so it doesn't happen to other people.

    Thanks

    Paul
