Had a Private Message from a James Morrison, about my adverts on the web.

Thing is, I don't recall doing this, or anything like it.

Anyone else had one like it, or something similar???

He gave an email addess too, and phone number.

Genuine, dodgy or scam???

    No, really. There is no member with the username James Morrison.

    Who was it who sent the PM? Forward the PM to me.

    Hello!
    I just wanted to say I am somewhat suspicious of a guy who claims to be from london who calls himself James Morrison and send email from: ruky009@yahoo.com.
    I posted an ad (purchase) and that person responded and offered a great price, and could send the goods the same day I sent the money. I asked for pictures of the product (in today's Journal of the next) to see if it was not fraud, but received no more replies.
    Therefore, I just wanted to warn you here on the forum. I can not be sure but it seems skummt!

    ps anyone who has experienced something similar?

    Wanted me to bring over 100 € for him and he promised to send the cover direkCt. Jotjena. I replied that I take it for 10 €, at root.

    Not OK! Watch out!
