We had a scammer show up yesterday. Beware.

UserName: Berryalex1224

He sent a bunch of PMs to people asking them to email a Rosen Howard to purchase parts. This has all the signs of a scammer. Please beware.

I got one from him regarding my "Want Ad" for an S3 located in the UK.
Then I could see he was in the U.S.

I just received an email re my ‘wanted’ ad suggesting a ‘Rosen Howard’ had the part I wanted.
After emailing ‘RosenHoward’, his first question was what is my shipping address……
No price, photos, etc.
A sure sign of a scammer IMO.
