stillwellbrenden775 and tonyd4 are most likely scammers. Just joined and responded to my parts wanted ad with the typical contact my friend he has what you need. 

 

Not surprised about tonyd4. I reported his first post as suspicious.

I don't know how active you are Brian as a amin here, maybe you could discuss  a future spam strategy with Mike to minimize the havoc it caused on the site recently.

just a thought..

I haven't been super active in the forums, but I attend to the reported posts when I get a notice. We're pretty open here, so not sure yet how to filter spam. Maybe have to approve posts or something for a while, but that's more work for management. We'll see.

At least some of the scammers/spammers are nice enough to self-identify with the "Hello Buddy" post. 

 

I think I know what inspired the scammers to use the phrase "Hello buddy".
