I, just curious. but is anyone else getting odd foreign sounding emails asking questions about classified kit for sale on here...not asking for bank details or anything,,but they just don't feel right,,or maybe I'm being paranoid.

Yes, I have had a few.

They show an interest in what you have to sell. The English is very poor & I suppose the next step is to ask for your bank details.

My advice is hit the delete button.

Heres a classic email for what your describing. Received it today and probably get an email like this about once every 2 weeks. The mountain bike in question sold back in Jan 05!

"Hello,

What an arsehole thinking his little scam will work!

As Fat Shady says.... That's what the delete button is for... Either that, or don't put your e-mail address in the classifieds ad, but get people to contact you via u2u.

Al.

Yeah same here.

maybe in php replace the @ sign and the dot sign with a picture to prevent robots from picking them up.
