martin_b Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 Gents can i make a suggestion that the wanted topic is set to hidden till youre a member with at least a couple of posts. Every time i place a wanted ad i get messages like this back. 'Hi you can reach out to Steven in Texas he has the mil scope and rings for sale this is his email address stevenmath298@gmail.com good luck' The message was posted by someone who joined 20mins before sending the message, and id bet my bottom dollar is a robot somewhere, just a thought.

SchmidtP3 Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 Yep, just had the same message from 'Jasonxx' in reply to a wanted post. And previously from 'saint.andrew'. I think the proposal of keeping it hidden until a member has a few posts or has spent some time as a user would be a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brown dog Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 I'll have a look at the limiter idea. We mark this idiot as a spammer each time they appear - assuming it's the same person/ team - can't be a robot, the conversational interactions in the messages are bespoke . Lee, would I be correct if I were to presume you've had no further contact from 'Andrew' since your alert? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee w 118 Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 When i left the smiley face, 😁 i had his number. He thought i was a member of the Fantastic four, reaching to DEVON. No more contact Matt has been made 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin_b Posted May 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 At least this guy asked you to Reach out ( God i hate that phrase) to some one local, though Im still not convinced its not a robot, you can do some pretty clever things with AI now? If you want to run a test put in a wanted add for a "Unicorn and a Dodo" and lets see if anyone in America has a pair! Actually something like a SMLE MK XII might be a better test. t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRGNXL Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 Guys, has anyone else had issues with 'saint.andrews' ?? A friend of mine was sent into for a Kahles scope, he sent the money to this guy that was referred by Saint Andrew and now it seems it's a dead end.

lee w 118 Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 I think with what has been goin on in the ukv Forums, stricter rules , may have to be implemented. I think if you are not sure about a member always throw caution to the wind. Can be a costly exercise? Only my thoughts 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This feqqer is clearly tgting the board - definitely not a robot. Apply common sense. No one legit is unphoneable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This feqqer is clearly tgting the board - other than binning 'wanted'; little we can do. Apply common sense. No one legit is unphoneable. Just made a couple of system tweaks. Won't describe them 'in public'. Hopefully, will thin the thief out. Meanwhile, to our guest: Weather looks nice in Nigeria. Smile at the drone buddy.
