Be careful with responses to your WTB requests.

Be especially careful with newly created accounts that have no history or prior links to this forum or its members.
Looking for a Rokinon/Samyang 135 F/2 Lens in excellent condition.

Also looking for a few Canon NB-10L Batteries.

Yes, Bharat - I can confirm this - I have recd 2 suspect emails and 1 p.m. in the last 2 days, in response to my WTB post.

This was the pm:
"You can contact Lucas he has for sale in good condition here's his contact, lucasreal094@gmail.com, I purchased items from him in the past and they arrived in top condition".

All from the same handle, I presume.

Please do inform if you think there's anything suspicious about any user.
Also, since Google search seems to vary with region, if you find any mentions of the given email IDs in any Anti spam forums, please do share the links.

I recently posted on WTB for a TLR camera and found a message in my inbox. I checked out the email, it has been associated with some scams internationally.

User named 'davidbirdandvandyke' asked me to send a mail to 'kenneth.krom@aol.com' to check for TLRs available with him. The same email has been used for scams as mentioned in the following link:

The 2 email addresses from which I was contacted:
kenneth.krom@aol.com
fredworld28@gmail.com
Kenneth Krom, it seems, is a well known scammer on a variety of sites.

Also share links to anti spamming sites where you find these IDs mentioned.
The usual google search is evidently inconsistent in this matter, so I may get a different search result (or draw a blank), while someone else may get a hit.

Got a response from a user valerie005 against my DKL adapter WTB post .

" The last time I purchased parts from Mr Allen
He mentioned he had a DKL mount lens adapter for fuji camera for sale. Hit him up allennewjr@gmail.com, he might still have what you looking for.
Cheers Mate and stay safe " .

I could make out easily since this user has got no stats in his profile :-)
