    I lost $50.00 to the scum bags myself. I've never had a problem dealing with the good people on this site until recently by these low life individuals.

    I would like to make a suggestion to the management, why not block PM access until new users have posted a set number of times just like the restriction on posting in swapping and sellin. Maybe that would help with this type of scamming.

    This scam is becoming popular on all the forums. Y’all need to use the same common sense you use when reloading. If someone contacts you privately indicating they have something for sale “do your research”.

    1) Does the deal seem too good to be true?
    2) Is the seller a relatively new member?
    3) Does the seller have a low post count?
    4) Does the seller direct you to contact someone else to complete the deal?
    5) Does the seller require you to use a payment method which offers no recourse if the deal fails?

    We, the moderators and myself cannot stop the scammers from contacting you privately and we cannot stop YOU from falling for the scam.

    If you want me to help you then you need to help me help you. If someone you don’t know offers to sell you something outside of S&S please report it AND don’t attempt to buy the item.
