    No BS here, this is the season for fraudsters in my business. Always someone looking for an easy dollar. I hate this time of the year.

    There's usually a guy on our local CL who posts probably 2-3 times a week trying to warn others of the white van scam products. but with all the complaints and people trying to sell their gear b/c they got scammed for 30-50 bucks, it wouldn't surprise me if they were resorting to still hanging out in parking lots like the first post.
