Now that just isn't very much help. If you ask me, a post like that -- with no way for anyone to know which ad you are talking about -- does more harm than good. You've just managed to cast aspersions on every Gilchrist ad that Cafe members might come across.

If you have a concern about an ad on the Cafe Classifieds, you'd best contact the site owner directly.

If you have a concern about an ad you saw elsewhere, you might want to post a link to it and explain why you think it is suspicious.

Were you trying to make "Warning: ad could be a scam!" a link to the Gil you are talking about? If so, it didn't work.
