Exactly right no one reported any problems-- I dealt with some of these persos that this guy Chris wrote about-- I had no problems!
what is this guy no goping to write about us now?
Since you quoted me I will respond...NOW I posted the above comment after Chris posted his list of suspicious ads.I stand by my statement that I think he should have left the user names off and only posted the ads...WHY? Because at that point, all he had was a suspicion based on the way the ads were.....but no scamming victim to prove his suspicion.I say only ad numbers and not names because by posting their user names,it would cause them to pop up if anyone did a search of the scammer forum prior to dealing with them.This could damage their reputation without cause...
NOW, however,after further digging and based on your reaction/actions,and the threat letter etc,I think his instincts were SPOT ON and he did a good thing by exposing it.
