Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I saw him private messaging people and tried to stop it as soon as possible. Smart move checking the BOI, I hope others do the same.

I don't mean to sound ignorant to this but what does this individual have to gain by mailing the victim a MO or Cashiers Check? I just received a text with the same message and wouldn't consider entertaining after reading this BOI thread.
Here is the text:
Still up for sale? please get back to me via my email (adamsbraown67@gmail.com)
I'm assuming for a pair of corytophanes I once offered for sale.
I was a bit curious on how this scam is pulled off.
Thanks,
Ryan

I just got something similar and googled his email address because it smells like a scam. Thanks for posting.

When the MO is sent out it is "accidentally made out for a few hundred more than it is supposed to be. You are then asked to go ahead and deposit it, and send him the overpayment back. Their hope is that you will deposit it in your bank and send them a few hundred dollars, all before you find out from your bank that it is not real.
