Do NOT Get Scammed!

Yesturday a user posted serveral threads offering to sell items too you through his website. We (SFM) deleted these posts and banned the user and his/her IP from the site, to attempt to avoid this type of thing in the future.

BUYER BEWARE:

Icon1 writes: "Earlier today there were several threads where an individual or individuals advertised for a wholesaleing company. The threads deleted, but I thought it may be a good idea to inform the other members of the site of this that these are almost definetly a scam. I work for one of the largest credit card processors in the US and I see different from of fraud and different scams all the time, I sent them an email requesting info on what methods of payment they accept. There reply was Western Union money transfers and only Western Union money transfers. I just thought in slight chance someone saw these and are actually willing to try it, a warning form SFM would perhaps prevent them from making a big mistake."

You are warned. If you see a spam post.. report it. We will remove it and bann the users. But I would HIGHLY recommend you NOT click on the links inside these spam threads/posts.

These people are the same as door to door solicitors. I just say no thanks and move on. They are all shadey.

2d art is treated as a bastard child in 3D forums.
There are cultures on this planet that are just plain not ready for advanced technologies like explosives and automatic guns
