I was almost scammed by a guy with the same user name and the one i was dealing with, he sent me a message and everything looked the same. Luckily i already bought it from the real one. I will stress, phone calls are your friend, scammers in most cases wont take a phone call and are not of american nationality. take the time and request or allow a phone call

I dont want to mention his account name, there are 2 of the exact account name and I was fortunate enough to ask for a phone call and received it, the sale went through fine and after the sale I received a message from the same account name asking for payment, the accounts were identical except 1 was created a few years ago with over 500 messages and the other a couple months ago with zero messages. when i asked for the fake profile to give me a call, i received an excuse as to why he cant talk on the phone or that he is having phone issues. be aware, ask for a phone call
Type the name out and you can tag it and see the 2 names. Something is different. A period a L in one and numeral one in the other.

How do we know this BurtG everyone is sticking up for isn't the scammer? He could be doing legit deals just to fool everybody. Build a cover story for the real BurtG who IS a scammer.
I don't think ANYONE wants to claim to be BurtG.

I also can attest to being cautious and asking for a phone call. I recently responded to a post (a couple of days ago) where the seller wasn't able to accept PMs, but had pics of the item and appeared to be legit. He ended up being legitimate, but I received two other PMs from users who saw my post asking if there was a way to communicate with him privately.
Neither of the other two scammers would respond to my request for a call, but the OP sent pics, videos, and got a phone call with me to put my mind at ease.
I'd rather miss out on a "deal", than get scammed by these bottom dwellers. In the famous words of Ronald Reagan to Mikhail Gorbachev, "Trust, but verify".

Women want meI don't think ANYONE wants to claim to be BurtG.

Recently I posted in in the buy sell trade regarding some 22 ammo well the person that made the post Was Chipperzs and he lived in like a northern state so shortly after I get a message from a new account with the same picture, but the name was Brass graceful BALBAL and their location was in Houston and he tried to reassure it was him and that the chipperzs account was out of reply's. i reported it to the admin.
Ask the welder dude, they're tight
Exactly! Folks are too damn trusting and I swear these scammers can smell it.....
I’m only doing local deals now. Fuck those online scammers, support your local scammer! I’m sure the round count is accurate 
Try not to post "I'll take it" or "offer sent" in a for sale thread. You've become a mark if you do this.
That is for morons.
You are NOT a moron. (I am assuming)
You are ALL already “marks”. Act accordingly.
In my for sale ads I put “I will NOT DM You, DM me through this post”.
99.9% this type of issue would be solved if comms were initiated through the OP post’s user ID. It is that simple!
DO NOT ACCEPT DMs that YOU did not initiate through the Sale ad OP’s user ID.
Furthermore everyone needs to have 2 factor Authentication switched on. I would advocate for making 2 factor authentication mandatory on all accounts.
