Reminders of scammers

Hi All,

I wanted to post a quick reminder of scammers looking to take advantage of you in the WTB section. I had an WTB listing looking for a pair of speakers from long ago. Out of the blue I get a DM asking if I was interested and referred me to a non-existant profile and e-mail to contact a friend of his who as a pair of speakers I'm looking for. I contacted the e-mail and offered pictures and a very good price, enough for me to bite but not super cheap either. E-mail conversation going, I decided to check on the profile that sent me the e-mail. Brand NEW as it it was registered the same day I got the presumed scammer's DM and no other activity.

1) I recommend check on the users profile in Polk Forum. I know they try to keep scammers out but they still manage to get in and lure you out.

2) try to avoid contacting a friend of a forum member outside of the forum, no history

3) guy kept asking for my phone number! Why?? Maybe trying a few exploits like sending malware or SMS MFA take over (I have protections for both).

4) if you can ask them for a picture of the item with this site pulled up https://www.timeanddate.com


Also very important, if you are reading this so are they!!
