Good luck with ur sale
Bro just don’t mess in the forum and get a job. I have commented in another reefers (@rsinanan415 )posts NOT even yours. I ask if he’s willing to part out his tank that I wanted the mp10. And YOU texted me and acting like u were him “ oh I’m willing to part it out” lmao. And how dare you replying me here? NOW EVERYONE KNOWS THAT YOU ARE A SCAMMER. You are the dumbest scammer I ever know. shame on you.
Your number is from California but in your other posts you said you were located at VT. Besides your account is new just joined Dec. 2022 and starts txting people selling this and that.
Be careful everyone. Dont ever give scammer chances. Meet up locally. Paying cash.

Not sure if I should chime in on this but I think maybe theres a bit of assumption that could be taking place. Ive gone thru the sale threads where people inquiring about X product and fortunately I have the same product up for sale, so i message the person and see if they're interested or have acquired it already. He saw you were interested in a mp10 and since he has one for sale, why not try to move in and make a sale. He does have a post with one for sale. I know its tough trusting people who recently joined but I personally don't see him trying to scam you. And trust me, you being from NY theres numbers from all over the country here lol. Then again i can be wrong.
Trust me I have met lot of scammers. all the words I said is not personal I’m critical to scammers ONLY. As you said move in with the sale as simple as that, ok so I send the PayPal payment as friends n family then they disappeared. u see? how it’s easy to get scammed. how you gonna trust them? so all depends on 50% chances of getting scammed and 50% not. It’s nice to hear how you selling your stuff but you don’t ask people to send paypal isn’t it . yes we meet up. that way it’s not getting scammed and gain trusts.
Besides how you gonna explained that he txted me acting like he is @rsinanan415. “Im willing to part out now.” Why he don’t just say that he see the posts and he have it for sale too instead of he acting like who I just replied from.

No argument to that, you’re def right. No one should ever use friends and family tbh unless certain and trusted circumstances.

So this same person reached out to me on a WTB post I put up for a product. Same story... he asks for friends pay and is pushy to get a payment and get your $. Be careful guys. Ask for specific pictures. If they can not produce what you ask for than run. His pics have differant backgrounds. Also use Google image search to see if the images are original. Don't get scammed.

Someone tried to sell me 100 gallon glass tank and I have post for WTB sump, he was willing to ship this from Texas 100 bucks and he said I will receive the package in 2 days, Try to put these lego words together and it has scam written all over this, but I gave him or her my piece of mind,

1.
If you get pm'd with an email that is definitely a scammer there's no reason why someone has to email you when they could just PM you right here on the site.
2. There's this app called text free where you could get a free number where you could text and if somebody you think is suspicious and they ask you for your number just give them the text free number and when they start texting you on the text free number and start asking you for codes or sell information or they want to know if you real and they want to send you a code definite scammer.
3. Those of you who have Facebook when you post something for sale and you immediately get a a message with a message that says I'm interested please send me your number definitely a scammer.
I also noticed people on the Facebook Messenger getting messages from people they think they know and the message reads oh look who died with a link and some people are clicking on that link and they are giving access to their Facebook account and being hacked
4. Craigslist when you receive a message that says I want to know if you're real cuz there's too many scammers out there and they want to send you a code definite scammer stay away
5. Offer up app if you have a problem with the app offer up do not Google their phone number the phone number that you will find on Google is a scam number you will call that number and they will give you steps and you think they're helping you and they just giving them access to get into your account. If you want to reach OfferUp reach out to them right through the app and not by Googling the number.
Hope this helps everyone

One more thing. Facebook doesn't have a phone number for you to reach out to them if you have been hacked or you have a problem so don't let anyone tell you that they have a number where you could call Facebook if your account was hacked or you have a problem it's works as the same scam where they will tell you to take steps on your phone and what they actually doing is getting access to your account

Facebook has too many scammers that I had to end my listing from there to save my time. If you selling instead of buying they will reverse their “strategy” they ask your PayPal/Venmo/Zelle, and telling you that they will send you payment and they are not in the town at the moment will ask their brother/friends to pick up. So if you trusts this and give them your paying info they will photoshop a screenshot even fake the email for confirmation. But in your pocket you DID NOT receive any $ because it’s a SCAMM! Last step! They will be like oh I changed my mind I don’t want this anymore just send me the $ back.
There’s even a sucker scammer showing off their results from scamming. Check the screenshot. the scammers are everywhere nowadays, so be careful.

Scamming is their job, I doubt that the small amount of money they’re scamming for is going in their pockets when the amount of overseas “call centers” that employ these guys is rampant (also $50 to them is not the same as $50 to us).
If someone ever says “kindly” in their correspondence to you, you know what it is.
