Interesting stev, seeing as you have the same email address that they use business.issues@hotmail.com Small world, hey?

AlanRatcliffe

Not only a scammer, but not too bright either. Now banned. I'll leave his posts for posterity and his email addy for the spambots.

Reinecke

We as a musical cummunity need to stand up to people who question our integrity and try to exploit the not that wealthy group of people that we are.

Kush

Nicely done guys! The nerve of that guy, creating an account and thinking he can fool us all. You great scam-busting lot you!

Another scam

stolen from

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2012-Gibson-Les-Paul-Standard-Premium-Plus-/141028799392?pt=Guitar&hash=item20d5f8b3a0

I reported it.

Reinecke

Well done Reinhard! If everyone stays aware and smart, we can actually have a stable bullshit free musical community where everyone trusts each other.

Chabenda

Reinhard!!!! What colour is your cloak??? Good man!! Well done and thanked!!

Isn't it nice and doesn't it make you feel proud to be part of a community with morals and ethics.

Reinhard

Lol, not a problem guys ? My cloak is Taos Turquoise (my new favourite strat colour).

Gumtree was surprisingly quick to remove the ad 8)
