First1st responded to a wtb with photoshop serial numbers. Has been reported.

How can you tell that’s photoshop when the C is covered by the green area? Not saying it’s real just curious.

Zooming in + brighten makes it easier to tell. See how the area highlighted cuts off with incorrect perspective and is the wrong texture. Arrows show poorly cloned artifacts on numbers

Yes let’s welcome him to the community! I still can’t figure out how to tag people in or I would have.
For future reference, to tag someone in a response, just use the @ symbol and then their correct user name. You will notice that as you start typing the name an automatic drop box will pop up and offer choices, which you can choose. Like this:

This is why I only buy from known people, or guys with good feed back. USE THE FUCKING FEEDBACK FEATURE, don't make people search the good guy thread.
True. Recently I bought from someone with zero feedback and hardly any posts. He'd been a member since 2019. He was willing to take a picture of the chassis with his ID and username/date, and he spoke to me on the phone. Everything went well and I left him positive feedback.

I recommend anytime you make a big purchase you should talk to the person on the phone and have them take a photo of the item with their ID.

Though, I suppose someone could still photo shop some fake stuff into a photo of the item you want to buy.
