    Exclamation Emails offering gear

    Apparently there's been alot of members getting unsolicited emails offering gear.

    IT IS A SCAM!

    Just report it, ignore it, and keep this thread bumped.

    We need to protect our newbies from getting scammed.

    Any proactive email containing source information claiming they are endorsed by this site is a SCAM.

    Recieved too many to report them all, best off marking the senders as spammers on your email

    You cannot just assume someone else will report them. Take the 5 seconds it takes to copy and paste it and PM one of the MODS.

    Seriously? Attitude? Your post said you receive too many to report them all. All I said was just report them cuz you cannot assume someone else will and this is how you respond?

    This is just an attempt to look out for the new guy who may not know any better. There is no reason to get all butt hurt cuz of the post I made.

    If you need a tissue PM me.

    Let's chill out with the debate. Manic did what he needed to know. It's his responsibility to report what he receives and he did just that.

    To all the other newbies, it's in their hands to use their common sense to realize that those emails are scammers.

    Why are we even going back n forth? This is completely off-topic. I did not know the ones you don't report were dups, I'm not psychic, you failed to note that in your original post. All I am trying to do is look out for the new guy, how you took that as a shot at you only you know.

    Can we move on?

    I got my first scam email from this site last week. I thought it was for real until I read it. The email on this site is a great service rendered by this site. I'm sorry to see scammer(s) taking advantage of it. If the site shuts down the email service we all are affected. If there is something members, like me, can do to curb spam use of this service I'm signed on.
