Hopefully most will see this. I think we should post it the classifieds as most of us look there. Shannon heeds to address it. But as a classified listing we all will see it.

Thanks guys for posting-I received that request for money after asking about purchasing a call...for sure whoever that is probably has a number of fake profiles on here and elsewhere. I didn't even bother responding as knew immediately it was a scam, but hopefully others here will benefit from seeing the tactics these shysters use
Way to look out for each other. Good job guys!
Send me the (real )profile name [scammer ]of the individual who sent a money request like that ...they a banned immediately
These scammers do several things that will fool a unaware person
1) ask for funds paypal "friends or family , casapp, or the like ...once that money is sent ...you just gave food to a garbage bear
2) a scammer will do a " interloper message " they will contact you saying they have a item you have been looking for , or one you commented on in a post ..and then want you to send the funds , you guessed it f/f paypal etc.
3) a scammer will send a message with more enhanced trickery..they will register a account that looks very similar to the original classifieds add but will change it very so slightly...the dead giveaway is the POST COUNT
I'll give you a example my handle is Old Gobbler ..I'll do some slight changes periods , case (capital letters and period ,comma etc marks . , " ^ * ' look at the post count guys !!
Fake versions of my handle
0ld Gobbler ....the O has been replaced with a zero "0"
OldGobbler ... no space between the old and the G
Old Gobbler. -- period has been added to the end
garbage bear syndrome this is when one of or valued members has been tricked out of funds ..the scammer scores , then they are encouraged to return to the last score and repeat the process, and register countles more Fake accounts..when you give 100 bucks to a scammer , you just made it worth that scammers effort to try and hassle the forum for a month or more SOLID
We upgraded the forum from a http to a https that s is for "security " and I added several security features and will be adding MORE soon
Okay so look at the profile post count I do not care what , who or why if they are selling something and it's below 10-20 posts ...let me know asap ..they will be banned right away
99% of the scamms are zero and 1 post count profiles , if you adhere to the golden rule of never sending money to zero or 1 post people you will be trouble free , I prohibit anyone from below 20 selling anything here , if you take that extra measure , that's even better ...then to triple the defense REGULAR PAYPAL ONLY , regular paypal is the only transaction allowed here ...because all others have no way of guaranteed refunds
Regular paypal only !!
Shannon
