I just received this via PM from Anthony Hi :

"How are you today and your family?
I am selling the above item you are looking for listed in the subject of my mail i send to you, if you are still interested, i have it in good working condition and in perfect order comes with the original box for shipping. It has been check OK, Everything appears to be intact. I will forward you details as soon as i know your interest in buying. Thanks and hope to hear from you soon.

Seems dodgy. Is it common to get this on the wanted forum? It was nice of him to ask how my family is though.

I just replied with this:



"Hi Hilario!

That's great news. Can I just send you £1000 for it right away via wire transfer? I'm not really sure of what the value is of the item in the subject of your mail and I am feeling very generous.

My family is doing great, thanks for asking. How is your family doing?


Warm regards,

Tony"

Thats not good, glad to see its being reported. Just out of interest, as we have been scammed, can we go back to the old forum now :):)

According to the little known Moore's Second Law, the rate at which software developers create improvements that nobody wants doubles every 18 months. There's no going back.
