phpBB Users beware - A con artist on the loose!

[LDM]

Well its obvious he has been uncovered as a con artist throughout the phpBB communities, as he has now removed his site from email messages and changed his email address.

I am so surprised he still has the nerve to keep going this way, I really don't know why he just doesn't use the correct channels like everyone else.

The net can be a very shady place, be careful folks.

Just an update that these emails are still being sent out to people and has changed his email address since being exposed as a scammer across a range of forums.

If you get the following email, make sure you report it to Google (Gmail where his email originates)
