Scam!!!

[Buffchief]

I was chatting with a guy about a con-fer rack and it regrettably didn't work out but then 30 min later I get this guy sending me stuff about an Uncle with one. Profile will not open for me now but he had zero input on mud across the board!! Be careful

These scams are discussed here at length.

So, the latest scammer game....

A classified is posted in the forum. You respond that you are interested. You AND the seller are REAL forum members, not scammers.

BUT, the scammer sees the classified, and uses AI/Google/whatever and chases down an email for you.....and you get an email that CLAIMS to be from that real forum member, emailing you regarding that item you want to buy, trying to get you to bite on a deal.

The email they use does NOT match their forum registration email. Their language, typing style, etc does not match what you can read on the forum from their past posts...

They are endlessly persistent. A few will always sneak thru, but the majority get caught during registration.

At least their tactics are blatantly obvious....
