When will Admin address the scammers in Wanted section?
There has been an influx of scams in the wanted section lately.
The "seller" always replies to an ad with a copy/paste of exactly what the OP wrote, then writes "Contact [email protected]" or an out of state phone number. They send you stock photos, and request payment without accepting paypal goods/services. This scam has been going on for some time. Admin, I think its time we inititated a minimum post count before posting in the classifieds. YT did this, and virtually eliminated spam. It also encourages members to actually contribute to the forum instead of just jumping on to sell 1 part and disappearing. But regardless of all that, the scams are the biggest issue. |

Many people will fall for this scam |
Still nothing from Admins on this, and the scammers keep coming. The wanted section is full of these guys

I’m not sure that the scammers look at their posts after they post them. They just wait for emails from their potential victims.
I make sure I don’t quote them in my replies, so they don’t get a notification that they were quoted, and I often warn other users that the user is a scammer. I used to post that the scammer is a registered sex offender, but that got old after 5-6 times. That’s when I started posting that they are scammers. I’ve considered posting that the scammers are transgender pedophiles, but I haven’t done that yet. They would have no legal recourse, because that would require them to identify themselves to prove they aren’t sex offenders/pedophiles, and then they’d be exposed as scammers/fraudsters. |
Admin still ignoring the spam/scam posts I see. Bunch more in the wanted section.
HELLO MODS, ANYONE HOME? |

Seriously...this peach just offered me a GREAT deal on a Pro takeoff suspension for $450 shipped. Unfortunately people must still send these *******s money through Zelle, Venmo or Friends and Family in PayPal or they wouldn’t still be so actively scouring the WTB’s Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |
