    Back story is, I've got clutter. One man's rubbish is another man's treasure and all that, and I don't like to bin stuff so I'm getting rid on ebay. Amongst my things were some old FHM magazines from the late 90s early 2000s which I've put for sale.

    Anyway, I got a PM today from someone with a credible Ebay rating asking the following ....

    "if i bought this for my boyfriend would you help me play a trick on him if i sent you a couple of topless photos of me would you print them off and put in the mag to suprise him thanks louise"

    I'm actually lost for words. I've never seen something like this. The cynic in me suggest it could be something quite sinister. The adventurous side of me thinks why not. I've not done anything ... yet.

    If the cynic, in you, overrules your adventurous side, feel free to give 'Louise' my address.

    Surely she can put her own photos into the magazines before she gives them to her boyfriend? The Yorkshireman in me says she's just trying to save ink.

    You could always ask for a face shot first before deciding whether to take on the burden of the boobs.

    The potential outweighs the risk.

    Enjoy old pal, enjoy.

    Say no....if she still buys the mags she may have been genuine...if she doesn't shell out the cash it strikes me she's ( if it is a she of course) looking for a mug to do something they might regret.

    Do not do this. There’s no reason she can’t print them herself and I’m sure the boyfriend won’t appreciate this trick of hers which involved another guy (i.e. you) seeing topless pics of her. It’ll be a dodgy file complete with virus attached 100% guaranteed.

    I wouldn’t rule out it being a guy with an ex’s pictures either wanting to play a mean trick.

    Proceed with caution. Something doesn't seem right to me.

    I wouldn't respond at all to this. It just feels very dodgy. Something doesn't scan right. You may be leaving yourself open to abuse/scam too...
