Scams, cons, etc
Hi FatCat members,
You'll note from time to time that a post will pop up here from one of the many scammers/con artists around the world. Ah, the beauty of global access via the Internet.
While we'd love to retain these posts to serve as a warning to our users, the problem is that as ridiculous and obvious as these scams may seem, unfortunately people fall victim to them all the time. So as soon as we spot these kind of posts we remove them. If you'd like to report anything that looks fishy, you can contact us.
Please be wary of ALL offers that seem to good to be true. They always are.
Cheers,
FatCat
