may I point out to you that the words "offers very much like yours" was so put to imply people asking for help regarding auctions and percentages etc are very commonplace not only here but throughout the whole internet world
the fact that "auction buying companies" are new to me or other members, does not imply that your initial request was novel
"a new day a new scam" could well have been apt
not that I am trying to imply that you are in actual fact a scammer , but just the fact that similar requests generally lead to one, and therefore tend to be handled with caution
if you have any complaint about me, please feel free to report it, either steve or mat will be happy to listen
if you have any complaints about any member, please feel free to report it to a moderator, and action will take place
please let me point out that most members who have experienced scamming are very reluctant to help what may appear to them to be a scam,
cant agree more, thats why the moderating team chose not immediately close this thread
however other members experience tend to automate their reply
sadly I did, and I am still here 7 years later !
