    Hello again,

    The purpose of this email is to describe an experience that I had today with a KiK member (screen name: Tomy Clance and KiK ID: tomyclance)

    He contacted me via KiK, which is no big deal and tried to setup a transaction on KIK. After I told him I would only transact with the middleman on this site, he said ok no problem. He requested that I post the middleman link on my thread and then asked for my email address on KIK so he could make the payment. I gave him me email but not my password.

    Soon after I posted the middleman link, I was contacted on KIK by (PlayerUpMiddleman-Verified KiK ID: PlayerUpMiddleman23) which I knew was strange and is listed as never do, BUT he even sent me an email FIRST from [email protected]. I couldn't tell initially if it was fake, then he began asking for passwords to verify the account. Red flag went up and I was able to prevent the loss of my account. These guys are getting very crafty.

    I've attached a screenshot of the email he sent me. Trying to keep you guys informed.

    I greatly appreciate you informing us about this @Mtf302. For security reasons, I blacked out part of the image you sent us which contains your information.

    Anyone can create a FROM email address that says [email protected] but they won't be able to receive e-mails if you send back a reply to [email protected]. We will NEVER under any circumstance do business with you on Kik, Skype, or any 3rd party platform in order to reduce potential exploiting like this.

    We greatly appreciate you reporting this to us.
