Dear Members

We have been experiencing a spate of Hoax Offer Messages.

Please rest assured the Moderating Team are addressing the issue
promptly.

Please can we ask that you all be cautious when expressing an
interest in items.

Please beware if you see an address in a post or get an auto reply
with an address and a message like:

'1st here gets it' or 'you're the first to reply'

This means that

1.
everyone else is getting the same information and it is now a 'who
gets there first situation'.

2. it may be a scam or someone playing a childish prank. Harassing the
residents of that address.

3. it may be a scam and the address being given is actually empty.

We are aware there have been such offers over the past couple of
nights. Some are listed below.
