Please read this before buying or selling on this forum. We do our best to identify fraud but no way we can keep it all out.
1. Your intuition is your best weapon against getting conned in a sale. If it's too good of a deal, it probably isn't legit.
2. If someone contacts you via private conversation "representing" the seller or buyer, please report it and don't respond. People have been scammed here with private messages such as... "Heard you’re interested in buying this...Contact him at XXX.XXX.com...he still has it available for sale"
3. If the seller/buyer makes you uncomfortable, then ask a lot of questions and consider jumping on a call with them. Be patient. If anything is going to get you into trouble, it's going to be impatience.
4. Look at their post history and make sure there are no large gaps in the posts as the account from a legit member could have been hijacked and now a fraudster. We do see this...
5. If you have any concerns about a buyer or seller, send a message to me @clackey and I'll research their history and give you my input.
As always, if you suspect fraud, report the post (report button) and we'll check it out. If it's suspicious we'll remove it and the offender.
Thanks!
