WTS Over Abundance of scammers the last week

[Sako300]

FYI, guys have been hacking into Existing accounts and are trying to scam members.
I have communicated with at least 10 in the last 3 weeks.
Anyway to up the security on the Rokslide Classifieds?
I love these forum classifieds and have sold and purchased from a lot of honest members here. It is getting out of hand though.

Last scammer was super obvious but still got people to send a complete stranger 1000 dollars. Some of you guys are really gullible.

I got messaged by one today on a wtb add I had put up.

What was the tell

Had my eye on these but he hasn't posted in a while and all of a sudden lists some random stuff for PayPal or cash. Thanks for the reminder to be diligent

I just want to know how they are hacking into long time members accounts? Just remember if they say they have an Android and can only send pics or are busy at work to talk on the phone, it’s almost a dead giveaway.

A lot of guys don't have the mfa turned on. They find a member with some feedback who hasn't been on in a while. Hack the account and list something at just a good enough price to get somebody to bite. Had one guy who photoshopped a post it with his screenname using my for sale listing pics where he swapped the background. Pretty nuts

Honestly I don’t want to say. Notice they don’t say kindly anymore?

guess that's a good point not to educate them

Yes, I believe I found that one and another member shared the pics I got!

 

[Elkman17]

If they aren’t going to take PayPal g&s if you offer to pay the fee it’s pretty much a dead giveaway

That's crazy! Good thing you recognized the pictures.

Thanks for pointing out that 2FA is available. I just updated my settings to enable it.
