   If someone with a Greek address contacts you about a blade, especially any Btfly blade, and is a new member here and cannot send you a legitimate photo of a blade --- a real photo-- not a link to eBay, BE VERY CAUTIOUS!!!  Ask for a photo of the blade with a piece of paper with your name on it.  Don't get scammed.

	Alert! Likely scammer who goes by Carlos, with the email [email protected] "Carlos" has a weird paypal email [email protected] that links to someone named Jingjing Xu. Carlos or Mr. Xu is not a member here. AFAIK but seems to have a connection to a new member here who goes by morrisondarren239 (who is on my radar). Edited by Baal - 04/26/2022 at 1:49am

	A suspected spammer with IP 69.181.68.81 was suspended from this forum. Use common sense when purchasing equipment from this forum. For example, don't pay for equipment using PayPal as a friend/family (no buyer protection) from members with a minimal track record (e.g., few posts) on this forum. -TPP

	Another scammer that wanted to sell 2 non existing blades for me. They or him failed when I asked to send me the picture of both blades together with a piece of paper with my name on top. They were sending me Google images with random blades before. I believe they have fake forum profiles and move people to email conversations to complete the scam transaction.

	Hello. I reported to the forum administrators a scammer that redirect me to the same mattythegunner, telling me he has Joola Panther. He asked me to continue the conversation on email, but I realized the pictures were from the internet. He said his wife has paypal and wants the payment as gifts/friends. He stopped answering when I insisted he should issue a Paypal invoice so I could pay. Be very careful, might the the same scammer. At least the method is the same. All forum members, we should be vigilent with this scamming method Edited by CornelTT - 08/07/2023 at 3:02am

	I'm not one to make accusations without firm proof, but 'Watkins' also PM'd me re my search for Neva Giva Magic Wall, claiming he had one in ST, when I asked. He then proceeded to send me pics from a Japanese re-sale website. All it took was a 30 sec Image search to discover this. I just ignored his offer after that.
