A member here, michaeldexter556 left a pm for me to contact his 'cousin' about a bbl I'm looking for.
This individual showed a picture of an Encore bbl and I agreed to buy it.
I believe the 'cousin' is a scammer from Kenya which casts doubt on michaeldexter556 as well.
Hopefully no one else has been messaged and scammed.

Several others have been messaged by him and reported it to me. It is a scam. If you have received a PM from anyone claiming to have something for sale - first ask yourself "Why isn't it posted for sale here, with pictures?" Then, if they are asking you to contact someone else who isn't a member, just delete it and report it to me. Because it's definitely a scam.
Oh - and michaeldexter556 has been banned. I did that yesterday, and turned off his PM privileges, so he shouldn't be able to contact anyone else. But the same goes for anyone contacting you via PM's about something they don't have posted on this site, and even if it is posted on this site - scammers are everywhere. Do your homework and read the rules posted at the top of the forum.
All the best,
Glenn
If at first you don't succeed... buy newer / better equipment!
