Scammer alert - everyone please read

We have a scammer, confidence trickster, petty thief - call him what you will - busily trying to con forum members out of their money.

As far as I know he has registered 22 times that I know about and started off trying to deal in XBox codes and now games as well.

He has tried to buy something off himself in order to give himself some trader ratings and when he answers an ad he usually claims to live near you too and suggests that you can collect from him in a bid to inspire confidence but of course he will want payment via Paypal gift first of all.

He is currently using fulham123@gmx.co.uk as a Paypal address but I would imagine that they are fairly easy to change.

As of today he has started PMing people to sell them stuff - again with the old "I live near you" rubbish so please everyone be on your guard as I won't be able to catch him every time.

The following are the names that he has used so far:-

Buttermono17
marko27
jack0901

kalik1
lankylarry1
summerwyn1
Jacko-09
