billybob884 | 63 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 If you get a message from Michaelxdrx (or any brand new account) telling you their friend has what you're looking for, be aware they're probably a scammer. I just went through this with their "friend" Scott Jones, sccott896@gmail.com When I asked for a picture of the item from him, he sent me one off Google images, the very same one I had already used in my own ISO post. Other red flags we should always be on the lookout for: refusing payment services that offer buyers protection (i.e. PayPal g&s or venmo), sellers putting pressure on you as "they have another interested buyer", or sellers refusing to meet in person. And be sure to reverse image search pictures a seller sends you! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob884 | 63 Posted April 6 Author Share Posted April 6 (edited) Be careful out there. I left negative feedback in his profile, and I can provide screenshots of the lengthy email chain between me and "his friend" Did he tell you to email the same person?

Thanks very much! Tbh I couldn't find the report feature at first, there doesn't seem to be a way to report someone directly. Unless I missed it, you can't do it through their profile, you can only report a message they send you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
