I was emailed by someone who appears to be the classic scammer.
I have just blocked this member. However, I worry others on here might not be aware of this scam? Where do we post suspicious members to?
Of course no way would I fall for this old scam, but for anyone reading, this is what he emailed. The scam typically involves fake checks or other wire-transfer shenanigans:
Would like to know who to alert when this happens, so we can shut down scam artists ASAP on this board!
