A big thank you to
@hyghlndr and
@dsenatore for reporting these users as suspicious. I was able to look into it quickly, determine from user history that something seemed off, and temporarily disable those accounts while I reached out to the true owners to get more info.
I was able to PM a warning to some of you based on who I could tell had possible interactions with these members yesterday. I hope I got everyone in time, but can't be sure.
There's a
sticky post in each of the classified forums warning to be cautious. But as a quick reminder, don't ever pay with a service that doesn't offer buyer protection. This means don't use the "friends and family" method to pay. Any seller that insists on being paid this way is a scammer and should be reported.
