    Jonas - Scam Attempt + Dodgy Files

    Img/Text Copy says it all really.
    Fairly sure what he tried to send me is not an "image" file.

    Briefly explain the trade:
    Asked to buy SSGP (to merchant) from me. I'd seen some dodgy stuff on his thread, but thought it was people scaremongering as the staff of the given server dislike sellers. As such, I just asked for a fair verification of wealth, knowing that I wouldn't be going first.
    How they scammed:
    Tried to send me a .lnk file, I believe these may be used for shelling...definitely not an image anyway.
    Proof that you were not talking to an impostor:
    Main issue. PM never arrived, but with a bit of luck with be found somewhere.

    Gives an MSN there, but I can't view it.

    I'm afraid this alone isn't sufficient, .lnk's are shortcut files. Seems like he just sent it wrongly. Unless there's anything else, a ban/TWC is not warranted.

    Thanks for your concerns :)
