I might be being paranoid but I got a PM from a forum member that only signed up today containing a link supposedly to the email address of a non-existent member who happens to be selling a set of Xenon's ... which I have a "Wanted" ad in place for.
Reported to Martin/DG/Gareth but sharing here as it's Sunday and they may not be online.
If I'm wrong I'll apologise. but look at his posts too..

It goes without saying, the email address given in the PM sent should NOT be contacted.
This is a scam preying on those with Wanted ads.
Extremely rare here and thanks to Hardware for reporting it quickly, and Gareth for removing the account.
If you have been contacted the PM has now been deleted, but DO NOT send ANY money to anyone related to this scam.

Scams everywhere.
I sent admin a PM last week with a link to my used underpants for £5.00 a pair, I didn’t get any response at all, shame.
And they were from M&S as well, bargain.

Why wait, just go for it and enjoy life.
