As a Mod, the forum software shows us many potential scammers waiting in queue and we don't except them.
Of course that doesn't mean that a member can't be a scammer.
I try to keep a watchful eye on the forum, because there are past people and shops that have been scammers and I don't believe that one day they won't do it again.
Then there are the ones who off incredible deals to "BAIT" someone in and everything's is going well and members are now trusting this person and then Boom someone is screwed over with a bunch of excuses. It can be a 2 way street, but usually tends to be a problem with the guy that is taking the money!
Once a member makes that step to except a deal, there isn't anything we can do about that.
Letting know about it is helpful to other forum members.
I hope you find him! Keep us updated!
