Agreed! And also use PM instead of putting email in your lists. Less likely for scammers to get to you.

It can not be said too many times to ALWAYS USE PAYPAL G/S with any transaction and if it looks too good it probably is unless in person with cash..

I figure I will bump this as it's still happening daily. A pattern I am seeing, and it's not always this way, is that the scammers will target newer members. Please keep being careful, ask for their id and then look at their profile. If they have more than 20'ish posts, they aren't a scammer. Most of them will have less that 3 posts.... There are still at least a few members a month whom are getting scammed. And it seems they were always a bit loose on their vetting and just "trusted' Net54baseball. Please verify with me to be safe, if there is any doubt at all.

Thank you for dealing with that issue I brought to you so quickly.

Terrible that there's such dishonest people out there, no where is safe, unfortunately! Thank you, Leon for all that you do!

Could part of the problem be that members names are out in the open? This gives a dishonest guy a good start on finding emails and making contact outside of net54. If everyone was only identified by their username it becomes more difficult to research.

The have cursory knowledge of cards so it’s a bit hard to pick up at first. I was contacted with a few questions about T210 that in hindsight, has been discussed on the board by others and myself. Stay vigilant y’all!
