    I PM'd this person mentioned in this thread and specifically mentioned I would be a cash-only purchaser and needed the phone number to talk over stuff. I received a PM back with an email address and was told the pins would ship from Delaware even though the person shows up as being in Georgia. Of course he asked for my email which I did not supply.

    The 'seller' has no forum posts and was a little miffed when I said that I would consider reporting him if I did not receive a phone number and explanation. Well, surprise-surprise, nothing in return. My scam-o-meter was pretty high when I first saw the ad. How can we get this account looked into and possibly banned?

    I'd hate to think someone might fall for this stuff.

    I like the idea of 'report'. At least that way mods can look into the situation and make a judgement call. As is stands now, I'm not exactly how to report the current listing. It is certainly a scam. I called the guy out on it and he got pretty testy but then he never emailed me back once I told him I would not give him my email address.
