    Who is this aimed at? The poster I quoted above?

    The clue was in the first word, the user name of the person posting. You even thanked them!
    Andihack, you need permission from MSE to post. I suggest you stop spamming until you have it.

    The post was against forum rules and has been removed. Which is why I used their name but did not quote their post. It allows those with a modicum of intelligence see that a post has been removed but alerts those before it is, that it is should be ignored.

    The post was removed because it was against rules. Anyone who believed what the post said, may have lost money.

    Do you really think a post like that should stay on a money saving board?

    Of course not. Each post has a row of buttons including Report and Spam. You click on what you consider is appropriate, and move on leaving the moderators to do their job.

    Which is what was done.

    What is the issue you have exactly?

    Post number 9 and Post number 13.
    They were not only unnecessary, but drew attention to the offending poster.
    Best just to report and leave the rest to those whose job it is to sort these things out.

    And post 13 was for people like you. ;)

    By the way, there's an ignore button if you'd care to use it.

    I was looking at this site and was unsure whether to use it.
    I realise this is a slightly old thread now but, what is the overall conclusion?
    Safe or scam?
    Thanks for your help
