    Default SCAMMER WARNING please read!

    If anyone has had a PM from member Freeddy I suggest you contact your bank or PayPal etc and cancel any payment(s) made to him.

    As far as we can se he is a scammer and has been listed on Stop Forum Spam. Listing only came to light after 2 members reported PM/s from him.

    Bloody scammers are everywhere at the moment so if you see something that seems to be suspicious please report it to us ASAP so we can shut them down before they can do their worst to you and others.

    Cheers - Neil

    Hey Neil,

    Can you advise the way to report scammers on PMs?

    Maybe I'm just not seeing the like a I'm using tapatalk. Thankfully I ignored Freddy's message as it felt wrong.

    Regards,

    Adam

    Yeah when I put up a wanted to buy for a LN plane a couple of months ago I had a message from a just joined US based member saying that their friend could sell me one cheap and to contact through an email address they provided. The idea of cheap Lie Nielsen anything post Covid had my alarm bells ringing.
    I just completely ignored, will report if happens again.

    Thanks, that’s another scammer banished, also been blacklisted elsewhere.

    We can’t take action against these would be scammers unless you guys report them, as we can only take action on those that post in existing threads or start new threads due to not being able to see or track private messages till they’ve been reported.
