New Type Forum Scam Warning

[hawkeye2]

It seems there is a new possible scam warning that is automatically posted by the forum in your conversations. I encountered it about 3 weeks ago when I was selling an item and the buyer was a new member with only 3 posts. It turned out the buyer bought 2 items over a few days from me paying by personal check and I shipped them both in the same package. I had no problems with the checks and the transaction was all you could ask for. A very honest buyer. Here is the warning that appeared in my side of the conversations:

"THIS USER IS BRAND NEW. THERE IS A HIGH RISK THIS IS A SCAM. PLEASE TAKE EXTRA PRECAUTION TO ENSURE THIS IS NOT A SCAM"

I've seen it as well. Interesting, it showed up when I read the message in my email. Upon further visits to the forum the message was in my conversations, but the warning was not. Must be a one and done warning.
