Always report the scammer using the report button that is on the bottom left of every post. Make sure you provide details to the admins/mods so that they aren’t left guessing exactly what/why. Do that BEFORE making a thread! Thank you.
You are correct. He didn’t get hacked, he got cloned.
My apologies to the real @sundown317
Sundown317. Is the scam
@MaxVY , I never got a PM from you, and yes someone cloned and added a period At the end of my name. I updated the add so before you post I’ll take it, PM me first
MODS can it be done where user name can’t have a period in it, seems that’s the scam, Add a period, change a lower case L to an Upper case (i)

These scammers are putting a DOT at the end of the members name that is selling stuff, as soon as someone says I'll take it in the PX post. He DM's the potential buyer with a fraudulent PayPal name. That is how this Navarrogeorge154 tried to scam me and a guy I bought some Berger's from.
I suggest if a person wants to buy something use a DM to the seller and stop saying I'll take in the post.

It’s shouldn’t have anything to do with membership level.
Also, a couple things to review anytime there’s a scam or even potential transaction:
Did this person contact you first?
Does the member name match exactly?
Two of the most prevalent scams here currently involve one of the above.
Claim the item in the thread and immediately PM the seller. This is standard protocol when using the for sale section in forums. Doing what a buyer is supposed to be doing anyhow would nullify this scam attempt.
It was a claim second. I then was immediately contacted by the scammer saying he had a another upper available. It was really fast and didn’t think much about it for a $50 transaction.
The saga went on from there with him being winy about bills and Christmas expenses. Asking if I wanted to buy ammo from him.
That’s when it became suspicious.

If you get a PM from the supposed seller, just click on the name and look at join date and feedback stats. They will always have no feedback and a very recent join date.
You don’t even have to click on their name. The feedback stats are already visible in a DM chat
