Net54baseball possibly used for fraud. Be careful.

[Leon]

Hey Folks
As Net54baseball continues growing, and getting more exposure, there is more possibility of fraud happening. Yesterday I received an email from an advertiser/auctioneer. He asked if I knew of a person who has not paid for a mid-high 4 figure purchase AND used Net54baseball as a reference? I asked for his id and he said he didn't know it. That is fine in not asking for that or verifying it, but there is some exposure to not doing it. Without an id my hands are tied except searching on the name, which came up fruitless. And to be clear, even with an id, all I can do is help with their registration info. However, many times that can help. If someone uses this forum as a reference with you, ask them what their id is, or verify them with me. ALL members have a Net54baseball id, sometimes it's their name, but most times it's something else. Anyone can say they are someone they aren't if there is no verification. That is also why we require certain things on registration., (not that someone can't squirm in under the door, infrequently.) And with an ID anyone can look them up on the board themselves. But what prompted this email was a PM I received today. A member said they got this weird email below in their spam folder this morning. Sharing fraudulent types of behavior is always good, in order to help combat it. Please be careful out there. There is only 1 email with the @net54baseball.com and it's me. Check with me for references concerning the board. Most times I can help.
