Hi guys,

I just wanted to share that following my message to EGGMAN for his Supersprint exhaust, I received a private message from an account with a name very similar to his. This message shared a phone number with a BC area code asking to call to work on shipping estimates.

Reading it from my phone's small screen e-mail app, I didn't notice the difference in account names at first - So I texted the number and started the process.

Now, don't get me wrong, I quickly noticed the hack through the text message exchange and sent the guy on an endless spiral (offering 1500 payments of a dollar ;-) ), there was no lost on my end in the end.

I still though it was worth sharing as a reminder to be extra vigilant on forums.


Thanks

Wow, that is an upgrade in scammer intelligence.

I'll get you a shipping quote this afternoon, so sorry for your bad experience with the scammer.
