So I just got this random message a few minutes ago from a user AKGOOFY who happens to have a very high user number (41,774). They tell me that they have 27 of the pills I sell here and were wondering if I was interested in purchasing them. AKGOOFY does not have a seller account and I didn't search but I also doubt they have a PGP key posted. The biggest red flag, of which I the numbers keep growing the more I think about it, is that I sell multiple types of pills here and have never had less than 2 or 3 different kinds posted at once and AKGOOFY failed to mention what kind they were and how much they wanted for them. Even if he had given me that info, I still would have declined. I declined politely and gave them a brief rundown of why I would not do that (read the user and seller guides, even if you don't have a seller account, read the damn thing!)
Have any other sellers received any similar messages from AKGOOFY or any other users, especially with such a high user number? I'm not sure if the user is not too bright, a scammer, a LEO, trying to attempt a robbery, or what. Kind of sketched out. Really glad my zeal didn't get the best of me.
**UPDATE**
Minutes later got a mea-culpa saying he just didn't think about the implications of such an offer. His other questions about the site make me think he's probably just a noob who wasn't thinking.

Ignore most unsolicited messages, this is your safest approach to such things.

Greetings,
I am a new vendor to SR.
AKGOOFY messaged me 7 days ago, asking me about my product and offered me 16 BTC for 4 beans.
I made a counter suggestion and have yet to hear from him.
Please let me know your thoughts on AKGOOFY, thank you.

Sounds extremely shady to me. There has got to be some kinda angle hes working.

Then he is either a dealer with very limited resources or possible LEO trying to stir things up. Either myself or someone can post on not doing business with him.

As a member of the forums he should be able to get any answer he wants...he should not be disturbing vendors with advice and ignoring PM's he himself initiated.
:D
