    I seen this going around a lot more lately. Add u and ask u for help then ask u to withdraw an item from a scam site where they have u deposit ur stuff to "help" them get thier item and offer an item in return.

    Also seen a rather unique one where they want to add u on Facebook to get ur email, other personal info.

    I'd report but I don't want to carve out 10mins a day filing reports, as I'm frequently targeted due to my boss value.

    Old and very common. The sites are run by the same people who used to spam phishing links, and to some extent they still do.

    Also, general discussion is not a replacement for scam reports. In order to prevent witch hunting, I hid the profile you linked.
