Scammer Alert...
I bought a Sprint Booster from Ed (emilner), and he PMed me a day later with this message:
It seems that someone has made a fake account with the username rlee02125, used my Sig and Avatar, then tried to have it sent to their house. I am rlee02135.
Thanks to Ed for the sharp eye of noticing the post count!
Ed was right, this could fool a lot of people.
here is the fake account: https://mbworld.org/forums/members/62604-rlee02125.html
and here is my account: https://mbworld.org/forums/members/34417-rlee02135.html
I already contacted Mr. Vanos about this. Just warning you guys to be careful!

It looked identical exect for the post count. I will ship to SB to the paypal address sent to me on the original post. I would recommend a notice to members as this would fool quite a few people.
Thanks
Ed
Thanks

took full advantage of all the advice and expertise on the forum. Once the bumper is repaired (got lightly rear ended by an 07 Murano) this weekend I'm debaging it and then taking the car to be detailed...then I'll post pics.

Didn't even have to run a real search on it... Thank you, google. That address is of "LIGHTHOUSE IMPORTING & MA" in Swampscott, ma

more aggressive = more fun
