Scammer using similar name to me. Shows up almost the same but with an addition of a period at the end. They have no positive feedback, do not respond to them.

Mods if you could remove this person that would be great.

Their account is: @Luke G.

This has been happening a lot here lately. Any time a person says I'll take it, they will make a account and pm the person. They need to make it where u can't send a pm for a week after making a new account.

Ugh. As a new guy here, because of this nonsense it’s going to be super tough for me to buy and sell

U just have to really pay attention, also the people that won't work with u and send pictures, don't trust them not matter how good the deal is.

Phone calls and Skype/FaceTime/etc are useful

No they haven't posted anything, they messaged another member directly. Both he and I reported the account.

I've seen this happen recently. I "reported" the member and conversation. They were promptly removed.

My last sale someone tried to
Impersonate me but buyer saw right through it and reported him

 

[EWS6]

seems there could be a restriction on new usernames where it cant include another persons user name.

 

[Hayden307]

Same thing just happened to me. Messaged mods.

Well, I think at this point, if a person posts "I'll take it" in a sales thread, they will definitely be approached by a scammer. This should be well known by now. So just PM the original poster directly from his user name and do your deal. If not, at least expect the scammer.
