PSA Scammer alert

I was contacted by someone claiming to be user todds101 here on the forums. He is using Toddrandom775 at gmail dot com as his email. BF has nothing on him. Search brought up a scammer alert from another forum.

Be alert...the world need more lerts.

Interesting, I got a message from this user regarding a WTB ad I put out. It seemed a little sketchy but fortunately his asking price for what I was looking for was way too high anyway!

Yup. He responded to my WTB. Did not go through BF, which was a red flag.

One thing I forgot to mention is that the scammer spoofed admin at bikeforums.net as the sender. So even if it looks legit.....
