If you are posting a WTB (Wanted to Buy), you will likely be contacted by a scammer or two. Normally they say something like...
"I know a guy that might have one in this forum, he goes by @Username I haven't seen him on here for couple of days. I actually called him, no response. You can reach him via email- [email protected].
This was an actual message that a WTB poster received. They may look like a legitimate user with several posts, and they will refer to a legit user with lots of history as the "seller". The email will be the scammer's email, and not that of the potential seller they mention.
So, get on the phone with them or otherwise verify identity. Don't use paypal "friend and family" even through they'll require it. Offer to pay the extra to cover the transaction fee (non friends/family) so it can be reversed.
When in doubt, message me and I'll do some digging before you send the $$$.
Thanks!
