You are doing him a favor, but you have to transfer first? I've got an answer for that guy: How about, hell to the nah?

He's not on Clamper's list from what I've seen, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything.

Things that stand out include:

1. private contact not open posting in the forum for all to see

2. the insistence that you send money first, despite the fact that they want the trade

Those two items lead me to say tread with extreme caution or hold off until there are some public answers as to who they are, trading history from other sites, etc.

Jazzone, I am going to steal that expression. Thanks.


Here's my take on mr. mele:

He posted here, wanting stars to ftp, and he posted the very next day, on another forum, wanting ftp to stars. that was over on maketransfer.com, or on pokerforums.com, I dont remember which, but I posted about it over there.

My vote is for extreme caution.

I checked with BNS. A successful trade occured between BNS and Mele68.

BNS sent to Mele8.

Mele68 has been soliciting trades here and on another forum. The amounts and direction are not constant.

It appears that this person wants to establish a trading history.

mele68, please do this.

1. Reply here with you player ID on PS.

2. State your intentions.

If you need a specific trade, or wish to become a regular trader, please let me know. I'll do all I can to help you either way.

A certain similarity between tacos4all and covy1, received a pm from both these guys after i posted about a possible trade. They never made any contact on my post and it just seems they have something fishy going on, especially since Covy1's entire post count consists of all scam related posts. Never replied to the pm's because i didnt wana waste my time.
