Just a heads up on a current scam

[mattyg]

Hi folks.

Just seen a boy on another forum asking about an email he recieved - very similar to what is in the link. (Think it's been going on for a while).

Just watch out. This person claims they are a Flight Sergeant from the RAF (FS Burows). It isn't, and is not linked to the RAF in any way.

Keep safe

That's pretty bizarre. However if I was buying something off of Gumtree or the like and something fishy like that appeared where the format of "i send you the money via paypal and you send me it" or "we meet up in person, I give you the cash and I go home with the item" isn't what the other person is planning then I'd never go ahead with it.

This scam has being floating around for a while with different variations, if theres only an email showing in the AD its probably a scam, they're all over autotrader too at the moment.
