WTB Someone is trying to scam using my account

[SecretSpot]

Hey, just got a private message from another rokslider saying my handle is being used to scam. It is not me!

I have contacted rokslide. Beware.

The phone number the scammer is using is (619) 714-4047 so watch out for that number

To add a little context, they texted me some pictures of an item I posted a wtb add for, pretending to be the user who posted here, with a post-it note that had the time and date written that was pretty well photoshopped. These scammers are getting sophisticated.

I am afraid I have fallen victim to this. Was trying to buy a Kutthroat and sent the funds via PayPal F&F

How do we know you aren't the scammer trying to make it look like you aren't the scammer to help with an actual new scam?

The mods can figure that out.

It was an attempt at humor. Failed, I see.

Only give out your phone number via PM.

There’s nothing admins or mods are going to be able to do. They grabbed your phone numbers out of your threads and are pretending to be OP.

Go delete your phone numbers.

If I took the time to see who wrote it, I would have known.

Lesson learned the hard way.

Unfortunately that is true but thank you all for posting so we all can learn.

Reduce the chance of getting scammed

I have been hesitant to post anything like this for a couple reasons. 1. I am not the authority on this subject, but I have been around the block a time or two buying/selling for over 15 years on the internet. 2. Scammers read stuff like this and learn from it. But I have watched a lot of people...

Sounds like something the scammer would say.

But if the scammer gets scammed is it really a scam?
