! SAFETY !
Please be wary of new users joining and contacting you via PM to offer goods they don't have. This guy has cracked on and might show you a photo that's not #1 on google image search - but don't be fooled.
He's always got what you want, he's always got a photo, he's friendly and candid and gives plausible reasons and answers. Whilst myself and the moderators will do our best - it's up to you to be aware of who you're dealing with. This guy used to use bank transfer but I believe he's now using paypal exclusively. Please report any suspicious stuff and I will look into it - here are a couple from the last hour from user Stiffmeister who started contacting people minutes after joining this afternoon. ####################################### hey dude, i have a near new hpi pro flux 6.5t, ive just upgraded so i dont need it anymore if you are interested, make me an offer thanks! ##################################### hey dude! are you still after a speed passion esc? thanks ############################### Anything suspicious - let me know. This is one guy trying to spoil it for the rest of us - don't let him.

Jimmy,
On another forum we have a setup where you can't pm people until you have posted 5 times, or 10 times. Might stop this?

I will look into this - I think it might have to be done with usergroup promotions which is a bit of a pain to make sure everything works / permissions are all correct. But it might be an idea. It might not stop this idiot totally but it'll be even more obvious if he has to post something he knows nothing about just to get access.

On another forum i use you have to have 50 posts minimum then you have access to the classified threads ( For sale, Wanted, Off Topic For sale ). I think this would be a good idea as it would people from joining the forum and scamming people. Having the 50 post minimum would allow you to get to know if this person is real or not. 50 posts may be to much but i thought it was a good idea.

Most scammers dont really know much about what they are claiming to sell. A simple or hard technical question to them may help you decide if they are for real.
