Be Alert if Posting a Want-To-Buy Thread

Scammers will frequently make several (usually meaningless) posts to establish themselves as a member of the forum, then send a PM to someone that is looking for something and offer to sell it to them. This is a more clandestine variant of the posts you have seen from a new member that read "My cousin Vinny has one of those, email him at vinny@scam.con".

We try to catch them at registration or when they make their posts, but sometimes they get the PM out sooner than we can react. Some of them are also getting better at making legitimate-looking posts.

If you are contacted in this way please report them or contact us directly.

Above all, be very careful about who you send money to, as well as how you send it.
