Guntrader scam email

[ratbuster2240]

Just to warn everyone, there's a scam email asking you to click the link to verify your advert. Don't click the link.
I thought the email was odd and contacted GT and they've confirmed it's fraudulent.

A few gave GT a second chance but it seems they don't take security seriously enough to protect their customers.

A gut feeling that something isn't right is a powerful instinct.
