Please remember my Yahoo ID is quantan_quantan_quantan ONLY. Not quantan_quantans_quantan

I only use the quantan_quantan_quantan. So everyone pls be becareful when Some Strange or "similar" yahoo id to mine asked u to exchange money.

 

Its really shame full act of that guy using reputed members name to scam people. btw when i asked him to pm and confirm if its you he dissapeared

 

Phew ! never imagined something like that .
Dont know why cant they put in their efforts for legit stuff.Thnx for the alert.

 

Ah its so pathetic. These forums are getting more and more scammers nowadays.

 

you said it,
ive already seen a few more threads like this before this one

cheers, powell

 

Smarty
Thanks for the alert. Why don't people work their selves instead of stealing others money

 

more and more scammers this days , thanks for the alert Quantan

 

So the difference is only of one "s" in the second "quantan". People are really going to be cheap day by day. May be within short period you will see Bill Gates chatting with you & dealing with you on messenger about his microsoft products.

 

Not just that but you would also see bill gates exchanging Egold for Paypal

 

ROFL . Interesting idea.

Will try to do it

 

and I will be careful w/ u

 

thats a really cool idea, i would not have noticed that, props to whoever did that

 

My quote was only for fun, not an inspiration to become a scammer for anybody.

 

That is really interesting. I have received spam in these forums and messages linking to advertisements within these forums but nothing like that. That would be weird though. I do also receive a few adds to yahoo with people advertising... Hmm maybe I'll remove my yahoo messenger link and if someone wanted to chat with me, they could ask for it... it's sad that I have to limit communication like that, I really shouldn't have to.

 

Man this is crap, someone can just steal your ID from DP and act like it's you.
You should always confirm via PM.

 

This is a VERY old trick. If you go back to Talkgold Forum, then you will see this has been done in the past 3 years - Successfully!

 

Thanks for the alert.

Must confirm by sending PM like Zoomone did. Don't just trust on IM chats.

 

that's identity theft.. why do user need to scam? they can easily earn by doing something online which is legal.

 

lol ... be careful !! else u will be fooled !!!! Duno why people don't use that much of mind in doing work instead of making others fool !!!!

 

Shame Shame. Well why don't you stop dealing on Yahoo and only do it via messages on your sale thread. Ask the other person to disclose his username in public if he is dealing with you.

P.S : This by no way will stop from any scam but at least u will have a relief that someone on some Messenger is not trying to scam you with any reputed members name.
