From what I know, there's no PM on removal of topics. Only for posts.
That would be my guess too. I've never had one of mine removed, but I do know users don't receive a PM if a topic they posted in gets removed. It might be the same for whoever created the topic.
Also from what I understand, the service can be used for stealing, hence may be seen as an illegal tool. And illegal stuff is against the rules, this would be my take for the reason of deletion.
But
stealing itself isn't against forum rules, and I don't think this post should be disallowed. Sure, you'd have to be dumb to use it, but I do believe in this:
Should never have put the temporary illusion of safety above personal liberty..
ie tagging and chasing away “likely scammers” ~
This forum started acting like protecting idiots is more important than letting users express their free wills..
