Default HOW TO AVOID BEING SCAMMED-see post-happy and safe collecting

Many times on this site and FB I have put WTB and have many scammers attempt to scam me, but have avoided all very easily and you should try this method too; esp 1&2.

1.State you will only pay pp G&S
2.State that you want a photo of the slab next to a sink or lamp. Why?
Scammers steal photos from EBAY and other sites and do not have
possession of the card. This shuts the bastards down very fast.
3.If they are able to get past 1&2 then check EBay to see if listed there.
You should also ask for all communication done on Net54 as scammer
will not communicate this way and often have a gmail address.


Happy & Safe collecting

Yes, 2 has become very popular on facebook to prove ownership. "Coining" as it is called.

Makes perfect sense. Oddly enough, many people seem lack basic common sense though.

I'm not going to lie, I think coining is stupid. If scammers can steal ebay photos, they can steal coined pictures on FB. Now, this sink idea is intelligent. Communicating on Net54 is a good move.
