I sent the seller a pm asking a few questions. He sent me a text and immediately began asking for my shipping address. I refused to send my address without proof of life video or photos. He refused to send the additional photos or video and has stopped communicating.
The dialect seemed a lot like the Nigerian scammers that are everywhere on facebook these days.
I am happy to provide screen shots to any admin that would like to see them.
Just posting this so that hopefully nobody gets their money stolen.

Yes, I did, this morning

Reading that thread it sounds like you sent a PM to the seller, but then got a text from someone different about it (presumably because they found your phone number in another thread)???

That's an interesting way to try and scam someone...

Some advice regarding your phone number. Don’t post it publicly. Also we have a pm feature (the only place I would post my number). This seems to get confused with the “profile message” which is not private, anyone who opens your profile can see these.

Edit, situation appears to be resolved. The seller was impersonated by a scammer who contacted a potential buyer.
