Attention: This looks like an exit scam
The user Nakamura12 has sent PM to atleast 8 people in this thread. This means that if this thread remains open for the next 24hrs, more people could surface.
He might think it is easier to scam 100 people $10 each than scamming one person $100.

I think it is time to investigate if the account changed hands, because this is an obvious exit scam attempt.


It's possible that this is an exit scam, but somehow it doesn't seem like it (although I could be wrong) considering that the amounts involved are $5 or $10 - and it should be kept in mind that perhaps not even 10% of members would decide to send even such a small amount to someone they don't know.

Considering that the user we are talking about already has a history marked with loans, it somehow doesn't seem to me that the account changed hands, but that he was just in a panic to get the desired amount as soon as possible. However, if someone does some research, it might turn out that you were right.
