Scammers on our Forum!

[Kenny]

So I posted on the WTB forum a request for SpiderTrax spacers

Then a board member sent me this telling me about a guy that had some for sale

So then I sent the "guy" and email about the spacers and got this

The pictures seemed familiar so I did a quick search and sure enough they were here in a totally different listing

So the photo made me go back and look at the original PM - member here for three months and no posts or likes - DING - the warning bell rang. I asked the seller for a picture of all 4 and he hasn't replied.

I have bought and sold many times here and I have a tendency to trust everyone - just take a moment to check how long a member has been here and how active -

I kept editing

Uh, yeah. That's the first thing I look at is the member history. After that, I make sure to only pay using PayPal (not as a friends and family payment) to make sure I have recourse.

Smart - I'll start doing that

If you see a PM like this from someone with 0 posts it's likely spam. I've seen this one a lot.

@JAY perhaps not allow brand new members to send PM's until they have 1-5 posts?

That's golden! Ask him if you can just give him your bank routing number and account.

“0” posts is a dead give away

The reason they choose bitcoin is because it is nearly anonymous and the transaction cannot be reversed.
