Caution:
Received email from slingerjessie from Pinside regarding a pinball machine wanted ad. Was referred to a email address :
Who had the unit , multiple flags and warnings started to occur!
They are using an other Pinsiders info to try to get your hard earned funds!
Should you be contacted by these scammers do not send money!
slingerjessie has already been banned. If any other accounts are sending PMs like the OP described, please let us know.
It's usually a good idea to be wary of users with no history on the site who PM you about buying/selling something. If you suspect something fishy, you can use the "report spam" button on PMs to alert us, open a feedback thread, PM a moderator, or post on the forums.
I'm starting to think your picture is real. Force Flow.
I'm on to you. Every time something bad happens. It takes you a few seconds and then this. Protection for all Pinsiders. Some might even call you "Super"

I was thinking the same thing! ForceFlow is fast! 
o-din's like eminem in that way, a mad genius but can't stop with the Christopher Reeve(s) material.

Have gotten a bunch of these but never with an actual address....
If someone says he is a Prince from a far away very small incredibly wealthy country and needs your bank info so he can wire half of his countries wealth for the purposes of political democrorocy.
Or if you won a lottery that you did not play.
Chances are not the best idea to befriend them no matter how appealing it may sound.

I got suspicious as the quality of the game did not match the price (too good to be true) and the language only asked for my shipper's number, nothing about coming to look at it.
And that's a big pin room for being in a fourplex!
I applaud the OP for not calling his thread an "ALERT!" Alerts require action, and not doing something is not an action.
I just got a similar note from a Jeromebrw referring to my ad. It was a Pinside apprentice saying to e-mail a guy in Beaver Creek Wisconsin. This is the e-mail that he provided: [email protected]

Can you post a screenshot?
So 11 thumbs down means 11 people do hope Forceflow ends up like Christopher Reeve? 
Sometimes I just don't understand you people.

They just think your "joke" was in bad taste i guess
Quoted from o-din:What if it wasn't a joke?
That's why I put "" around joke. I didn't know either. It was more funny just to see how many people down voted you
Quoted from o-din:What if it wasn't a joke?
"What If ..." I thought your new avatar looked familiar.
These scams make me miss the days of Chogard. At least his scams ended up with epic meltdowns by him.
Quoted from Mfsrc791:It was more funny just to see how many people down voted you
I found that quite humorous too, considering what was said in that post.
Quoted from klr650:My mom bought me one of those when I was a little kid. Our dachshund was absolutely terrified of it! Now come to think of it, so am I!
$125 and you can relive your youth.
I didn't have one myself, but the TV ad always cracked me up. And my best friend's dad was named Hugo so we had some fun with that.
