Martin Harris - Moderator Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 We’ve had a report that a member has been conned out of a considerable amount of money by a recently joined member. We can’t comment on the veracity of the claim but it’s a good opportunity to remind anyone buying or selling through messages on the forum of the potential risks. While the majority of people on here are honest, there is no security in this type of transaction - unless you know someone personally or by strong reputation it’s very much a case of buyer/seller beware. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futura57 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Ditto for the BMFA Classifieds. Never again will I buy used receivers. 👿 It's a shame when a few spoil it for everyone else. Sadly true in virtually all aspects of life. I'm sorry to hear someone was scammed for a considerable sum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leccyflyer Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Heads up for you guys - beware of private messages from newly joined up "member" who have a friend who just happens to have exactly what you were looking for ages ago and put up a wanted advert for. It's a well know scam method and I've just received one an hour ago from a "member" who joined an hour ago, with no posts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
