Hello to All,
I believe I am a target for a scammer. I just was contacted by someone giving me a heads up on an item I want to buy. Someone apparently has one for sale here in the classified, and it is still available. I Checked and found no such ad. Contacted the seller offering to pay via bank check, but seller prefers Venmo or PayPal. I am not going to accept the offer,- looks like a scam. If I am wrong, I invite the seller to contact me and I will apologize here. Thanks for your time, everyone.

Well this may or may not be a scam, that is a classic pattern for scammers. Thanks for the heads up!

I got one too. FWIW, every time I've gotten a PM from a "registered visitor", it has been a scammer.

Gee, I'm almost thinking I want to post a "Want" ad for something outrageous, just to see if any scammers crawl out of the woodwork!

I had the same thing happen to me today and when I told them I wanted some detailed pics, I didn't hear from them again. Really a shame.

Just a FYI, another site I’m on had to limit Want to Buy to a membership only forum. Scammers for every WTB item that came up.

Is that the only red flag? I prefer electronic payment too because you can't trust the friggin' mail. I've had multiple issues over the last eight months. Had a front sight take six weeks from Texas. Right now we're filing a lost package claim with an order from VTI.
I just bought a truck on Ebay that's in California. I was having heart palpitations worrying about sending a cashier's check in the mail but I was able to do a wire transfer at the bank.
