Oh, there is more.
peterklein454 and frankly100

I did not lose any money, just had a long and pointless email exchange.


Make sure you do NOT share any info before making sure they are LEGIT.
I believe he shared my phone number and email with some scammers as I got dozens of scam calls and weird money request via paypal

It seems this forum and others have been taken over by scammers.

“Taken over” might be a bit of an overstatement.

Not saying there are not scammers out there, but they are the 1%.
