@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. :wacko:

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.

Please be alert guys. Easy_man is scamming people on other sites. Don't get scammed by people that don't participate.

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.

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.

I'm on a couple of other forums and their rule is a minimum of posts before you can PM or access the sales/wanted section 

Totally agree similar should be implemented here, despite being recently registered myself.

I’m thinking this is supposed to link to his recent post not that he is a scammer. I can personally confirm that he is indeed real and a genuine guy, if not particularly hairy!!!!

83? 'he' is probably having a midlife crisis and one morning he told himself "This is it. I am gonna be a scammer!"
