    Default Beware of an ongoing scam!

    Today I got a message from someone here on FPGeeks saying this person had 'seen a post elsewhere' for a pen that I was looking for here through a WTB ad.
    He gave me an email address, which I responded to. The response I got looked quite fishy, with what seemed to be stock images on pens not matching what I was looking for in more than manufacturer name.

    I just saw a post on reddit warning about a very similar apparent scam, see

    http://www.reddit.com/r/Pen_Swap/com...scammer_alert/

    EDIT 1: As no crime has been confirmed, I was initially not sure if I should share all the e-mail addresses and aliases involved. In light of the overwhelming agreement that something seems to be up,
    here goes: As was mentioned below, the e-mail address is wondewomantnw@gmail.com (Teresa from Texas), and the user is Joseph.

    EDIT 2: Updated link. Thanks Chrissy!
