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.
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:
https://www.concertina.net/forums/index.php?/topic/24888-can-anyone-verify-this-seller/#comment-219461
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 :-)
I got a similar msg from valerie005
The last time I purchased parts from Mr Allen
He mentioned he had a GoPro Dual Battery Charger for Gopro Hero 9/10 for sale. Hit him up allennewjr@gmail.com, he might still have what you looking for.
Cheers Mate and stay safe
Got one from christy45
"hello you can contact christopher he has a Sony A7R3 for sale....PM him @ christopherbenson283@gmail.com"
Thank you, all.
This is turning out to be a very useful thread to expedite the culling of spammers.
Please continue with the great work.

Sciphil QuoteHowdy pravsi, I was looking through when I saw your ad for AF-S NIKKOR 85MM F/1.4G.
If you're still on the look out, my uncle recently put up a set he's looking to sell. You can reach him with details of your search at graunt310@gmail.com
However, I'm looking to purchase a Sony A7s II body in good condition. Will appreciate a referral if you have or know someone looking to sell theirs.
Cheers!

Sorry, I should have been more clear - this was emailed to me:
"I have the Fuji XT4 for sale and where are you located?
Best Regards"
Not much we can do, posted it as a heads-up as it just seemed off to me.
