I'll help everyone out: https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1049707/0#10028375

I just got an email from this guy too. He seems to be selling everything.

He was already banned a few days ago. His usernames were mangra and Manuel Garcia.
Now, he was able to send emails.

I am thinking on removing the option of sending / receving emails when participating in the buy and sell boards. This is one area where I have little control. I would add an option to add this functionalily at the member's own risk.

I like that idea, Fred with an option for the member to use it or not. This guy came out of nowhere so to speak.

I received an email from him last night in response to my WTB listing for a lens filter. Same MO, same language.
THANKS for the heads up!

Unlike other sites, it's damn reassuring to know that Fred and members have each other's back here. Unlike others whose url's will go unmentioned

Uh. Without e-mails there is no record of the conversations.

PMs and replies to the thread would give you the record. Actually PMs are a better record as they are stored on my database and could always retrieve them if necessary/requested.
