Anyone else keep getting messages in pm saying to contact someone else. About something you are looking for.
I got one of these measages and they said they would send a rise 266 and rise 366 but stopped replying as soon as payment was sent. So I reported the charge and got my money back but now I am suspicious of these other messages I keep getting

It's best to only deal with people who reply in your thread, with pics, or are regular posters in here. I'm glad you got your money back, most members are great to deal with, but there will always be scammers 
Only way I would buy in response to a PM is if I have interacted positively with the person in the past.

So that Cizu was a damned scammer... Received a similar message from this member on May 30.
Pms should be disabled for people with less than 5 public posts or so...

I wonder if we posted nonexistent items if we would get “canary offers” and weed out the spammers
Like, you know, put up a WTB for:
A flux capacitor
A T-800 cpu chip, or the cyberdyne second-source recursive prototype?
A 16-qubit Quantum processor
Etc |
