    We still have scammers showing up, their MO appears to work via PM more so than posting, though some are making basic posts

    They ask for a different shipping address vs location and often repeat themselves.

    If you post an ad, or even a request and get a PM from someone seemingly too good to be true, like offering to buy or sell really fast, report them.

    Do not send money or products without vetting the user. That takes many forms and it's up to you to do your homework

    You do not pay to post, we do not guarantee your sales or purchases so don't ask us to vet them for you, but if they do exhibit red flag behavior we will ban the account

    Protect yourself at all times, better safe than sorry and the person complains about the questions, report them.

    They are normally polite and will often put USA in the address.
