runscottI also would much prefer to see posters use the existing threads rather than create new ones about the same topic. I maintain other forums and it is a big headache, but when I see dupe threads show up, I move the posts to the original threads to maintain readability.
But your doubting that board members have been affected by this is incorrect - several collectors (mostly novice, but others as well) have posted here thanking us for alerting them to scammers. And I am not lying when I tell you that I know several old time collectors who have won cards from these guys - I notified one who then got a refund. The scam is quite simple - they gladly give the refund to anyone who complains, but keep the money sent by those who don't complain. Simple and profitable scheme.
