Default Scammer alert

Just had a few messages from this member from USA. Well so it says on his user name. For all wanted adds i've placed.

Seemed odd that someone would have everything i need from America

On his replys he asks you to email him, googled his email address and came up with lots of scam posts.

Just warning everyone in case he's emailed you.
