PEOPLE WAKE UP!!!!!
SCAMMERS Read Sales threads, get your phone number, then send texts asking for payment.
If you receive an unsolicited text from a person claiming to be a seller
DO NOT PAY
DO NOT PAY
DO NOT PAY
Got the message yet?
A guy got burned for $450 yesterday because he put his phone number in a public sale thread. The Scammer then sent a text to that phone number pretending to be the seller.
The buyer:
1. Did not check the area code
2. Did not check the seller's real name
3. Agreed to Pay with PayPal Friends and Family (Absolutely Prohibited)
4. Did NOT do a VOICE Phone Call
5. Did NOT double check with the REAL seller via PM inside the Forum
6. Ignored ALL admin warnings about this new trend of scammers posing as sellers.
People -- if a texter asks for payment via ZELLE, PayPal F&F, Venmo, Cash-App, do NOT send money.
Try to get their full address and phone number, and then notify Forum Boss.
