Scam, there's a guy from Spain that sends literally the same email to people
on other forums too iirc

 

[tfridgen]

Real, for sure.

Is this a serious question?

I received a similar email through the RT system from a guy in Spain. Needless to say, I did not sell him my guitar.

Got the same email today.

Wait....what? I got an e-mail from the same guy in reply to my wtb quad of el34's. Needless to say I sent the money Western Union. You don't think I got screwed, do you?

Kind of figured that just never had anyone use the forum email address I provided hit me up. Guess I will remove that option from my profile. Thanks.

I love Mr. Copado! I listed a few WTB "adverts" here, and he apparently has everything I was looking for at a good price!

any reply/message that starts with 'good day' is usually a bad sign along with bad english and no spacing, run to the hills

inevitably ends in western union/money order and/or tears

 

[ibenhad]

So how do you change the email address associated with your account? University81 I always use Western Union money orders and have never had an issue. They take a day or so to clear unlike a USPS MO that is like instant cash but what the hell. 89 cents is cheap and they do insure them.
