_________________________
Every public social media community has scammers working to steal money. We have examples here of large sums of money stolen by sellers who disappeared after the money was sent. Please be skeptical of any transaction with someone you do not know personally. Check the account post history, if it was dormant for some time then suddenly active be cautious. NEVER send funds via wire transfer or bit coin, once sent it's gone! Always use Paypal or a known escrow service. In the most recent case Zelle was used to transfer money. Understand that if you send money via PayPal as a gift to save PayPal fees you surrender your right to recover your money. Search the internet for any scam history associated with a phone number or email address provided to you by the buyer or seller.
Please report any unsolicited PM offering a third party referral based upon your WTB ad or forum post. Below is a actual one removed from the community:
"HI

Finally, do not make the hack of your account easy, you can change your email address and password while logged in from your user control panel linked below, the change is quick and easy.
