By offering out you personal Email in the WTB threads, you are essentially opening yourself up to scams and spams.

I've said this many times before, if you are not well versed in the buying and selling foray, do not post personal info for contact. Always request PM's via the TRF website first, then decide if the member is someone you wish to work with!!

By posting out your info in the open, vagrants who troll this site (non-members) looking to pounce on the unsuspecting, will always try the backdoor approach.

Only deal with members, decide after initial contact via PM, then if you wish to continue, give your contact info......It's that simple!!

To add. NEVER let your guard down, ALWAYS research the other party, and never ASSUME. TRF holds NO responsibility on any transaction made or brokered through this site.

Well said and many people don't read the suggestions/rules enough.

By now all should treat WTB replies from untrusted sources as spam and not even respond.
