Default PMs from kylelewis005456

Several people have reported getting private messages from kylelewis005456, where he directed them to contact his 'friend' offline at a gmail address who had something for sale that they were looking for. This person had just joined the board, and had no posts, so it was a classic example of a scam attempt. They've been banned. If you ever get one of these messages that looks suspicious, don't respond - report them instead, the moderators will check them out and kick them off the board if necessary.

Anyone that would deal with a middleman is an idiot.

Anyone that includes these three letters, wtb, should have their spidey senses up at all times. Raising your hand saying u have money to give often attracts unscrupulous characters.
