    I think this is a scam peter2554@btinternet.com

    When ever I am looking for something or put a wanted ad on here I have had a reply sent to my emal from this person more than once saying they have got what I want, They never send me a message on here or reply to my post on the BBS, its always a message sent to my email, The email address is peter2554@btinternet.com Has anyone else had a reply from this person called Peter, Things do not sound right to me has anyone else had this, I may be wrong but as i said things dont sound right.

    Reply to the email that you want to do the deal on the BBS so you know who you're dealing with.
    He must have access to sales to see your wanted post ?

    I was going to suggest you check the members list to see if there's a peter with that email, but I see the list is closed.
    Maybe use the "contact us" & ask a mod to check for that email ?
    if it is a scammer we want them off the site asap.

    Just had the same as the OP with this character today. Googled the email address and was linked to this thread. Why is his account still active ??

    Probably because whoever it is, hasn’t used the same email address on his/her profile. I don’t recall moderation tools allowing you to see who has viewed a topic/post, but if they did it would theoretically be possible to work out who the common visitors were and eliminate the obviously legitimate members. May take a few more reports to narrow it down, but sooner or later it should be possible.

    Maple.
    He's just contacted me saying he's tried to email me three times with pictures of what he has. Strangely I've only had one email from him asking me to reply so that he could send pics.

    Isn't he also the chap who crowd funded money off AGF members over some weird story about receiving a b2 by post instead of a BSA pcp, Chris ?

    I think you called him out on that one and he was banned ?

    I'll do some more searching on Edge and Birchy usernames now.



    All the best Mick
