Please be aware that there is a user attempting to scam users posing as myself using FiPG Deegsy as their AIM SN.
If a mod is attempting to contact you, they will do so through the freeipodguide private message system. If you have any doubts please PM a mod and if you want to IM an mod please check their profile to see if they list an AIM/Yahoo/MSN SN to be contacted by.
I realize that this should be obvious but he had attempted to scam 5 users in the last week.
To summarize. Conduct business through our PM and Trade system. If you go outside, you put yourself at risk for getting burned.

I was joking a bit, but obviously anyone getting scammed by someone with a TR of 2 is being a bit foolish themselves.
And isn't this posted in the wrong spot? Where's a mod? wink

I think people should not be careless when they trade.

It's right below the trader forum. If they don't even bother to read one line below, then chances are they're not going to read the rules, and chances are they'll learn the hard way that it's important to read documents in bold. I think it's very straightforward.
