Default OBD2 scanner spam/scam?

Did anyone else get a PM from 'MAALI188' on here, offering to send an OBD2/CAN scanner for free, in return for a review of their product?

Affirmative. I got one too.
It looks like a scam.
I almost fell for it as I've recently purchased an OBD2 port adapter on Amazon and the seller has been chasing me for a review.
I won't be taking up their offer.

Hmm, I didn't get mine from Amazon but wonder if I've posted something about it on here in the past?

Either way, mods probably need to block/delete the user.

Same here, when you share your email address as (at) (dot) means it's meant for eBay/Amozon where they don't allow you to send emails. 100% scam.
