New Members Selling

Please beware.

Too many "I got scammed" incidents lately all over.
There seems to be a rash of new members that come with the sole intent of scamming.

Right now, at this very moment, there is one with three listings.
The photos from one of his listings were taken directly from another seller that was a new member banned last month. He has been reported to the moderators.

Not inferring all new members selling are unscrupulous. Just please use diligence and research. Doesn't take very long to figure them out.

I've noticed this as well.

There was one yesterday trying to sell a Sub with pictures of 2 different watches.

As I'm not looking to sell anything I never really took any notice of the rules for that sub forum, I know you need to be a pledge member but I also thought you needed a minimum post count.

Probably just getting mixed up with other forums I visit.

I've been getting the PM scam lately. Several new members, having joined a week ago and having zero posts, have tried to sell me bezel inserts for $50 for my gmt2 pepsi, and then asked for Western Union moneygrams for payment. Unfreakinbelievable.
