mary006 Trying to scam me

I posted in the WTB section mary006 reached out to me to ask for my email. And she is sending me pictures of a watch listed on Ebay. I called the company who has the watch posted they have never heard of Kate or mary006.

Beware!

Mary006 is on the forum right now....

If you look at his/her posts, they are all in the joke section within a few minutes of each other....

Here are the screenshots from the email communication I did block out my email address. She never responded to me after I called her on it. I have been looking for this watch everywhere at a reasonable price so I know every listing by heart on eBay LOL

I had the same experience over the weekend. Pictures of the watch were sent and look legit. She offered references too.

Mary006 has been banned. Did you include your personal email in the wtb thread? Wondering how they can contact you otherwise?

I've noticed that a lot of these new scammers post quite a few two word responses on the Joke section. I suppose this is just to elevate their post count
