Hi all,


Please be aware of scams when posting in the 'Wanted in East Dulwich' board.


Today, a suspicious forum member sent numerous private messages to people who had posted on this 'Wanted' board, claiming they had the item they were looking for and were prepared to sell it.

This forum member was newly registered, had 0 posts and had registered from an IP address outside of the UK.

They asked for people's phone numbers or emails so they could continue the conversation outside of the forum.

Fortunately, this was reported quickly and I managed to block them before harm was done.


If you have posted a listing in the Wanted in East Dulwich board, please note of the following:

 

  • Be extra vigilant about giving out your phone number or email address to newly registered members, or ones with 0 posts. If you click someone's username next to their post or private message, it takes you to their profile page where you can see the date that they registered on the forum.
  • Ideally, do all communication via EDF private messages. This does not expose your email address/phone number.
  • If someone wants you to pay online and post the item to you, DON'T! This is very likely to be a scam.
  • EDF is a local community forum and most people here live within a short walk or drive, so collection is always the safest method.

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      There’s definitely something in what you say about upbringing, environment, and emotional health. It doesn’t excuse the behaviour, but it might help explain it. I do think low intelligence likely played a role here. People who aren’t taught to value life, whether human or natural, often end up reacting with hostility to the things they don’t understand or appreciate. It’s a sad reflection of both neglect and ignorance. Your suggestion of rehabilitation through something like woodland conservation or sapling planting is actually a lovely and meaningful idea. Let’s hope something good can come of their sentence, though I won’t be holding my breath. Looking forward to meeting you in person at the Forum drinks tonight, and fingers crossed Jasonlondon makes it too. His terrible neighbours really are quite the story.

      Direct link to livestream of closing ceremony and joint statement:  Today, the conference comes to a close with a joint statement — a historic declaration of collective action in defence of international law and human dignity. At 10:30 Bogotá, 11:30 New York, 16:30 London, 17:30 Paris, 21:00 New Delhi, join the closing ceremony live from the Colombian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The ceremony will feature Gustavo Petro, President of Colombia; Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories; Zane Dangor, Director General of South Africa’s Department of International Relations and Cooperation; Varsha Gandikota-Nellutla, Executive Secretary of The Hague Group; and Fillemon Wise Immanuel, Minister of Justice and Labour Relations of Namibia. The centrepiece of the ceremony will be the reading of the Joint Statement — the result of deliberation among participating governments. This statement will echo far beyond Bogotá. It marks a turning point in the global campaign to hold Israel accountable, protect the Palestinian people, and restore the rule of international law. Join us to witness this historic moment. In solidarity, The Progressive International Secretariat
