[Miata] Miata.net Classifieds Scammer Alert [Re: INTERESTED]

[CHRISTOPHER ADAMS]

FYI, 

Scam alert for folks trying to sell items in the Miata Classifieds. I'm in the process of trying to sell off most of the items I removed from my '99 PEP, which has become a track car now. Got this reply on one of my ads. Just wanted alert you to the email address and name the person is using.

Outside of just deleting this, is there anything else I should do with it?
