    Without Seeing Ghosts in every 3 word user name,

    Note overnight we had some suspicious activity we are working on so be careful when engaging with new accounts or recently dormant accounts

    Please do your homework and don't assume anything right now, once we look deeper into the system I will give an all clear, but we noticed some changes that I want you to be aware of ...

    Remember,

    Trust but verify

    There are no deals on here, NONE, if you can't believe your luck, you already lost

    Ask for verification before sending payment

    Do not send payment to someone not part of transaction

    If you get an immediate, Send payment here to my friend, scammer, report them

    Don't report if you are not sure, it floods the system, and please provide proof as scammers are reporting people. If you report a legit account I will ban you as scammers are reporting real accounts too.

    We are adjusting behind the scenes and investigating everything but it takes a minute as we don't want to just ban everything

    Understand this is two fold, one to scam you out of money, two to harm the site and take it offline, the better we act, the easier to ID these scumbags
     
    So this one you caught…

    Can you send us his coordinates?

    Lots of us own chippers you know…

    ^^^ the above is merely a coincidence and means nothing bad… just playing the seashells. All satire, of course.

    Nice, caught one already

    If you publicly put, I'll take it, and they reach out with a zero post count account to send payment, report it.

    They watch the PX, when you say, I'll take it, or WTB they will reach out so be prepared
    I still don’t understand why people keep posting I’ll take it. I get way back it was first who posted I’ll take it wins. But with scammers rampant you would think sending a PM even with questions would be easier and safer.

    Maybe this correlates with the sudden uptick in WTB ads. Are these posters newbs who just don’t know or fudds who just can’t really internet?
    This shits happening everywhere with For Sale sections no matter what’s being sold, you’d think people would learn
