Haha if you want to, there 1 scammer email I know you can troll lol

If I thought it was ichi selling stuff I would not think to dig deeper BECUASE of the red lettering in the name. Many that come on here to buy and sell do not venture out into the forum in general so they may not even know he is in read until they PM him. At least they are PMing the proper number so can get set straight.
Yeah, that’s def the case. Also I use use email address same as username, so that’s another way to know if it’s legit email or not. Iirc I dibbed almost all the major email address using my username, so highly doubt scammer can make a fake one.

Also to add, ichitaka isn’t my real name (which some of you know from buying forum stickers). Every time I replied to PM, I end w “ichi” in there. It’s reason why ichitaka’s first “i” isn’t capital... but don’t think everyone get that part, it’s just my way to show it’s my nick name.
