Optics Scammers trolling the WTB’s

Just a heads up to anyone with WTB’s up, I’ve had 3/4 responses turn up to be obvious scams with new users grabbing pics from old classifieds and posts to use as their own.
Thankfully a quick check showed no feedback and accounts less than 90 days old on all 3.
Some showing wrong model #’s, different scopes from day to day or imposed notes with username and date. (It’s helpful but easily faked now).

Always do your due diligence!
One guy even tried to call me with an attitude claiming he has medical bills, needed the money and demanded a call back🤷 That’s how ya end up on a list 🤣

Just a friendly heads up, the Hide has always been great but popularity and high traffic will always being trouble.
 
got scammed by a chink a few weeks ago on another site , say what u will about paypal, they came thru and sided on the case for me and returned my $475. Knock on wood, everyone i've dealt with on here has been on the up and up

Did you use G&S or FF? I’m assuming G&S if they reimbursed you. Either way, I’m glad they did.
 
I had one hit me up and checked his profile. Had joined 9 minutes before. I had him all over fucking with him acting like I was gonna send him money. Think he finally figured out I was fucking with him. Maybe it was when I said I would send him $1500 but he had to let me put it in his old ladies arse!!🤣🤣🤣

Same thing last night for me, joined 5 mins prior to messaging me.
 
Was looking for an MPR chassis the other day had a guy reply (within min) saying he knew a guy that had one check his account and it was 2 days old, by the time I went to report him his account was gone! Keep an eyes guys!
 
When they say they have the item just ask them if it has a certain non existent specific part. Most scammers won’t know what it is and say it has it to satisfy the buyer

Buddy has one for sale
Does it have the tracking converter? I need that.
Yes it definitely has it
