TLN Posted July 21, 2023 Report Share Posted July 21, 2023 (edited) Hi. Woke up to email coming from "Tom Bill" regarding sale of multiple boards due to illness. Prices looks too good to be true, poor english and use of "kindly" also indicates spam or scam. No idea how I got on the list, I see no emails to/from that address. On the other hand stuff for sale is very specific, and fact that someone tries to scam people by selling Kessler boards for $700 is very very slim. It's either targeted... or real? Does anyone knows Tom Bill who's apparently not riding now, or may be someone else got spam this morning? UPD: Most likely emails were leaked from that (or bomberonline forum) Screenshot: Topics that match items one to one (excluding prices and/or "SOLD"): Edited July 21, 2023 by TLN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted July 21, 2023 Report Share Posted July 21, 2023 Super sketchy. If you're going to respond, do it from a burner email. Note that you're BCCed, like the 100 other recipients that they mined somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibrussell Posted July 21, 2023 Report Share Posted July 21, 2023 Got the same one today and five months ago. I googled and couldn't find that person so I put it down as spam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB Utah Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 I would laugh and insta-delete any incoming emails with that “Good day my dear” intro but appreciate your bringing this to everyone’s attention. Thinking I should watermark future photos of boards for sale like some of you do so scammer bro can’t misrepresent them. Hope you’re having a great summer @TLN and thanks for cross checking the ads.

Or "kindly". 100% spam or low-paying job in different state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
