Sorry to hear you were scammed by this user. Looks like he contacted you at 12:18 p.m., Jan. 7. He was reported by user urslo as a possible scammer at 1:04 p.m., Jan. 7. We checked him out, got the tech team to provide a list of everybody he had contacted by PMs and distributed warnings at 6:30 p.m., Jan. 7 to you and everybody else he had contacted.

We can keep the scammers at bay, but it takes a team effort between community members and moderators.
