Scammer emailed me (outside of bladeforums)

I just wanted to post this to explain how this scammer tried to scam me using email.

I had done a deal with a member on bladeforums and shortly after, I received the below email from someone claiming to be that bladeforums member. I knew it was a scam right away because I already knew the bladeforums members real name.

I contacted bladeforums mods to hopefully get the scammer booted.

Note that they have your email now so you'll still get them. Best bet is a new email that you only give out by PM and never publish
