People, a long-term member's account was hacked in early January. We still don't know how, but it looks like a shared password with another Forum.
At least one Forum member has lost $700 on a fraudulent scope sale.
The buyer did not do a VOICE phone call because the seller claimed to be "mute" and not capable of talking. BS of course.
The buyer did not demand custom photos.
The buyer agreed to pay via PayPal "Friends & Family".
The buyer saw the seller's account had legit positive feedback, but you must remember that is not protection vs. a hacker.
People you have to understand that a valid account can be hacked. You MUST protect yourself!!
Assume that ANYone sending you a solicitation PM about a scope could be a felonious criminal scammer.
If the person demands to be paid by PP Friends and Family, or Zelle, or CashApp -- terminate the transaction immediately and notify Forum Boss.
