Spam pm

[67temp]

Over the weekend I got a message from jsuther about a wanted ad I had. The message seems like generic spam. Googling the phone number reveals posts on other sites/gun forums such calguns, longrangehunting about spam.

Strange. Did you look up jsuther's profile to see how active he is and if this is just a newbie trying to help out.

I did....no posts on our forum, no location listed, generic pm that has terms like "items" and "request", googling the phone number returns hits for others inquiring about the same message word for word. Same thing when you google the email address.

Strange, very strange.

I also posted in the WTB looking for a Glock 26. I got the same PM. I didn't think much of it and just replyed that I already found one. I don't think he can be trusted.

Good to see I'm not the only one. I had posted about some powder I was looking for and got the same message. Seemed odd. Didn't think much of it though.

I've seen like accounts on other sites I've moderated.... automated marketer.

Proly' consideration should be made for banning the account.

It's a scammer. If you google that email address you will come up with half a dozen results from other sites as well, all have the same automated message.

He's all over the internet, but not here anymore.

If we banned the perp under another IP addy...... get ready to do it again.
Legit' accounts don't generate scam PMs.
