PSA: Scammer Sending PMs

[Signal Maintainer]

I received this PM today from new member @loopki98

I did a quick Google search and found that scammers are sending this same message to people on other forums about their classifieds.

I reported the PM to the Mods here. Hopefully they ban this user ASAP before someone falls victim to their scam.

Just to be sure - this new member loopki98 is the suspect scammer, correct?

Just an update, the "people" are still sending out spam through the message system. If you get a unsolicited message from somebody that just joined the day they sent a message to you, hawking something, don't respond to them. Please let one of us know about it,

This is an ongoing thing with new people signing up, it is not the same user doing this.
