Just banned another zero post classified type scammer ...the "modus operandi " is to register to forums and send personal messages informing you they have a desirable item and then re-direct you to a email or PayPal account
DO NOT SEND MONEY TO A LOW POST MEMBER,
the reason they do this is because, people are trusting by nature and don't realize the "good ol boy " on the other end is some scammer who does this for a living
Warning Warning , everyone please watch out for these people and PLEASE do your best to report these people. We need to do our part to protect this forum from scammers.
Y'all pay attention here. I had one of these scammers try to get me last night. User "dasbota" with "0" post. He referenced BayouTurkey29 as having a pot call I was looking for. The following email was provided Money scammer
Maybe a minimum number of post before your allowed to sell,say 50 might help keep the scamming problem down,just a suggestion.

X2, equally important here is if EVERYONE would not BUY from ANYONE not following our classified rules, 99% of the scammers would stay away. This eliminates the "hit & run" scams......resist these buying offers regardless of the attractive prices. If it appears to be too good a deal to be true, it isn't......
DASBOTA is a scammer . Keep an eye out for him in your messages
