    Posted up a WTD in classified

    WTD POST: Bernaard is NOT the chap who has emailed me!! I am sure he is fine.
    Get email " I am having difficulties logging on – but I have what you need, send me your money" (note NOTHING to do with Bernaard)

    I reply, Ohh how fab, how can I pay…but then just to answer that nagging worry I ask for forum name"

    "td66" is the reply "but I post very rarely"- Can I find him on the Advanced Search options? er no.

    If this is a scam – why is he so happy to give me an address to send a cheque to?
    Am I being a muppet, way too paranoid and does he really exist? td66 where are you?

    Please leave Bernaard well alone – has nothing to do with it.
    It is a direct email from a person of user name "td66" that I want to check up on before parting with cash.

    Just feel a bit wary of sending cheque to any Tom Dick or Harry who asks for one. Even with a name and address to send it to. But may be I am daft and a worry pot.

    BERNAARD HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS. (sorry for shouting)

    ah, thought someone was pretending to be bernaard.

    get some pics and, tbh, if it's only £20 or so take a punt.

    My thoughts were – email user name to check it is them and then get photo and send money- I am completely falling at the first hurdle of finding "td66" – It's £25, too much for me to lose willy nilly.

    Google his email and his address

    Email will bring up facebook, myspace etc (possibly)

    Address could bring up other problems

    If in doubt, don't in this situation.

    You can't find a user called td66? Have you tried just changing the username on any profile?

    Now you've got a username, your money is safe. After all, anyone can buy a house but you need ID to create a user account 😉

    Hurray. thanks Mike. Thought it was user error.
    I thought STW user accounts were the key to life and happiness. 🙂
    sorry Bernaard – I did try to make it very clear that this had nothing to do with you.
