@RH No problem, a second opinion is always good. As I said in my post, it's not 100%. I'd want to see proof. I'd not pitchfork against anyone over my observations.
With respect to ensuring our users weren't being scammed, I checked the OP's messages, and two things were consistent, which to me were red flags. I won't go into further details as the rest is between OP and the people they messaged with, but those two things were somewhat red flags to me personally.
THAT SAID, OP hasn't returned to update us, BUT that's probably normal - they weren't a member here prior, and so we can't presume that they check here regularly, or even care to.
If anyone happens to have more info, I'd encourage them to step forward with it, as I think it's good for the community (not just ours here, but Nintendo history as a whole) to know what's up.
