Yea, but having received 4 different scam emails/messages, and having read this thread and heard other’s experiences, I can tell you that (at least in my experience) it is very obvious the email is a scam. It smells fishy from jump. Thus, even if scammers get through, they should have zero success.

First, the message will seem very odd- like “I got what you need, email me at”….. and there may be a picture but it will likely seem very wrong, like a psa T3 Cobb

Second, if you check, the “user” will have either just joined, had zero posts, or both. And if they have posts, they are likely few and all on BST.

Third, if you still can’t tell it’s a duck (despite its quack and walk), just ask Leon or post on this thread or somewhere else for a referral or two.

Sorry if I missed this in a previous post but has anybody been scammed by a user with 50+ posts and a join date of over six months ago?

Thanks

I haven't seen anywhere close to that many posts from a scammer. Most I have seen is around 6-8 posts. And if you look at them they will all be the same BS....
