Heads-up!

Not strictly a listing but a heads-up about PM's from users responding to wanted ads. A very friendly tone is used asking you to email a mate at an email address where upon you are asked to make a bank transfer, no Paypal etc. You can see where this is going and if you search the email used it appears on many other forums unrelated to Amiga responding to wanted Ads.

In 2023, if people are still getting scammed on the internet, they deserve to lose their money.

It's not 2006 anymore....

May not be immediate obvious to all, just because it is 2023 doesn't mean there are not vulnerable or gullible people out there. Not sure why you felt the need to try and trash my post.

It's not 1999 anymore but there is a Prince in Nigeria that recently died and his estate is willing to split the money with you if you pay for the import duties first. Hundreds of millions of Zimbabwe dollars could be yours.
