Inigo scams and scammers are so prolific we are all unusually suspicious , so you are not at fault , I get dozens of email scams every week and report them regularly to [email protected] I am sure most countries have a similar reporting web site and we should all report scams , sometimes I get scams such as the one below and play them along for funInigo wrote: Wed Aug 17, 2022 8:50 am

As one member guyof this forum having judged your emails as suspicious, I'm very sorry and I apologise for my attitude. I hope from your kindness to forgive me, and will be happy to have you herein when your subscription finally works...
But I'll give you an explanation.
In the forum there have been several cases of spam and scam from new members, or emails offering good collections for sale, which were completely fraudulent, and have cheated some of us badly. The thing is that the only ways we know of distinguishing these frauds from authentic emails or messages, is what the cybernetic safety rules doctors tell us to detect. And unfortunately, your emails had several of the same symptoms, namely:
1) inconsistencies in names, addresses, etc
2) strange lettering and wording
3) no photos of the items for sale
4) offering contact by private emails or messages and not openly to the forum community
You'll see that all the warnings and red lights arise when reading your emails, at least the copies of them posted to the forum by Mr Child
This is not a justification of my extremely cautious attitude, but an explanation to clarify the reasons that made me suspect about your offering.
This said, I repeat my apologies and wish you the best luck with your proposal.

I heard recently that I had been hacked. How do I report this hotmail scammer? (I do not, I repeat NOT, have a hotmail account.)soundgen wrote: Wed Aug 17, 2022 10:14 amInigo scams and scammers are so prolific we are all unusually suspicious , so you are not at fault , I get dozens of email scams every week and report them regularly to [email protected] I am sure most countries have a similar reporting web site and we should all report scams , sometimes I get scams such as the one below and play them along for funInigo wrote: Wed Aug 17, 2022 8:50 am

Glad you got back, I've been trying to purchase a $200 Razer gold eGift card for my niece, as it's her birthday. Unfortunately, she is diagnosed with stage 4 mesothelioma cancer, She had lost both parents to the disease (COVID-19) and I'd promise to get the card for her today but I have not been able to do that because the bank said they were having issues charging my card and would take a couple of days to get it sorted, please can you help me get this from your end; I'll refund it to you once my bank sorts the issue out. Let me know so I can send you, her email.
Bill

In the link a sent, is just part of the gramophones, some are in our dining room. Also some will stay with me, such as the Edison C-250.NEKTREG wrote: Fri Aug 19, 2022 8:57 am I doubt that this is one of the biggest collections in Germany…
You are correct in terms of machines, the collection does not have a significant number of machines, nor desirable ones, there are several collections in Germany that are more substantial. Concerning the records, there are many, but from the notebooks posted, there are desirable records for the operatics collector, but I could not find particularly rare records. I don't know about the reported Caruso's funeral record, which to me is a curiosity but does not qualify to make such collection outstanding.NEKTREG wrote: Fri Aug 19, 2022 8:57 am I doubt that this is one of the biggest collections in Germany…
