Is it a scam or just another way to advertise? I got the same message several months ago.

I see your point. They are getting very good at harvesting email information. I post mine in most sale ads. I figured that's how he got to me.

I'll search and keep an eye out for him. Thanks for posting about it. I hope everybody that suspects any illicit activity will bring it to my attention.
I manually screen all new registrations here for this purpose, and it is extremely tedious, however it has prevented 99.9% of the spammers and scammers from entering the site as a member. Unfortunately, with a site this large and active, it's a great big juicy target, and I am having added measures added to the site that should help more.
