Collin 1952 Posted October 3, 2022 @netsmithUK By all respect, how long does it take to set the forum software to "no access" regarding trade section and numbers of user postings? The software can do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raman36 1647 Posted October 5, 2022 This has been occurring on RCtech for a long time. You post in wanted section and immediately receive a PM saying that “name” has the part your looking for contact him at name@zxtc.com Unfortunately RCTECH doesn’t have limit on who can access and pm in the for sale section, so they are running wild on there.

Collin 1952 Posted October 27, 2022 Christopherbby is the next one. @netsmithUK Since I cannot send you direct messages, I post it here to the public audience. Quote Hello Sir. I ask you very politely, do you plan anything doing against scammer? As you know, its always the same procedure. New user with 0 content start to reply on parts requests. Some user where already victims of this scammers. Since TC is your forum, right? I think you have a responsibility to keep it up to date with some certain security features. This features are very simple but effective. Greetings, T. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin_Mc 411 Posted October 27, 2022 Same as you two, I had a PM which looked fairly genuine about having parts and asking if I was interested so he could send more details. Before I could check out the profile and respond I got a WhatsApp from @svenband knew straight away it was a scam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
