No, not me. Just like you said scam of some sort, sounds like a good one to delete.

I'm thinking scam, too.

There was a post in a thread a few days ago that simply listed links to a variety of products. I sent an email to admin and pointed that out. I never got a reply, but that post didn't exist the following morning.

Was it a PM from someone here on UHH? If so, I'd report him to admin. If not, was it an email to your email account? If so mark it as spam. You were wise not to investigate or you might have been swindled or infected with malware or worse.

Not me, but I agree that it is a scam. Notify Admin.

Your right that was the name now that I heard it . So I guess the next step is
Get martin Daniel checked out . But if he's some kind scammer . He wouldent
Be so bold as to use his own name but the privet message looked like it came from the hog . I don't think it was counterfeit . Did you report it Sylvias ?

Yes it would have an effect if you report the persons username to admin. They can check everything he has sent to other members and see if he's legit. If not they will expel him from this forum and the rest of us will not have to deal with him until he creates a new fake username. But admin will ban his email from becoming a new member.
