Beware folks, there are scammers operating on the forum. I received two messages in reply to a couple of wanted ads i placed from "DartboyGT55". Here are his messages ...



He pointed me to another forum member "mickygee" [email protected] and stated that he would be able to help me. Obviously did my due diligence and gradually and as we exchanged messages, alarms bells started to go off. He is obviously a scammer maybe using multiple forum names and IDs trying to make a buck or two ripping off forum members.

Hopefully the forum administrator will pick this up and bar the slimmey scammer ...

But now they have your email, be careful opening any unknown emails.

Yea the reason they want to communicate by email is they know how fast we ban them once they're reported, which is quite rapid indeed.
