Please post PM content reflecting the above statement so I can remove "allegedly". It has been corroborated to my knowledge but it would help to have that PM posted here.
It was confirmed via Administrators that etsanchez and turquoise9955 are the same individual. I have not located direct evidence of fraudulent activity by turquoise9955 as of yet.
In future transactions please be cautious folks. Don't depend on this forum or Staff/Administrators to protect you from scammers. Do some substantial due diligence and if it sounds just too good to be true, just pass on it.
Edit: Please do not post in this thread unless you are a party to the transactions referenced above or have specific evidence regarding the transactions or the accused member(s).
