Scammers are always looking out for easy targets and FOR SALE forums are rich pickings for scammers.
If you have been a victim of a SCAM or an attempted SCAM, or if you receive a PM reply to a posted WTB thread that appears suspicious, please report it to the moderators so that it can be investigated. Never send money to someone you do not know using unsecured payment methods. It is always wise to check the posting history of anyone replying to your thread via PM to see if they are active members.
