Hi mate I have an emergency, and I was wondering if you could proxy for me from RL website?

To the best of my knowledge I do not know this member, and he/ she seems to have no posts.

Not sure what's going on but best case scenario; treat this as a PSA/ warning. If I am mistaken I can always delete/ withdraw the thread.

I'm more worried about what kind emergency it might be that he needs RL gear so bad?

First scam artist to old mate (other scam artist)-

"We've run out of Ralph Lauren polo shirts, and they don't ship to Nigeria! Quick, join an online cothing forum and get someone in America to proxy 15 x custom fits in a large at once!"

old mate back to first scam artist -

"Ok ok, but only if I can use a western union money transfer......"

Maybe I should start a conversation with the fella, reverse scam style that some websites do, and ask them to put i pics of themselves fellating a donkey before I send some money to them,,,,,and the donkey has to wear bespoke John Lobbs.

Take the thread to Dumb Threads in the process..

This thread was intended to be just a PSA, which I though would be of some small help to people, is all. Not trying to make a big deal of it.

Not supposed to PSA it until after you've baited the scammorz with a lengthy back-and-forth convo. Sheesh.
