Potential scammer - new member jose

DanielT74 · 06-10-2011, 11:07 PM

I have a concern about a new member jose: View Profile: jose - PentaxForums.com who contacted me about a Wanted item.

This is a suspicion only but I wanted to ask if other members have been approached by him and warn of a potential scam.

He claims to be from Spain but mentions a price in Malaysian Ringgit and there are a few other things that don't quite add up.

I would suggest to exercise caution buying from this member especially not to use Western Union.

I am now sure he is a scammer. He did not reply to my question about mentioning RM280.00 (Malaysian ringgit - very careless) and attached photos belonging to another member (David Glazebrook). Mods please cancel this guy's membership (I will forward you details shortly).

Well, his statement may be partially truthful. If he thought he was going to get away with that crap, I would agree that he is pretty simple.
