So I made a post about wtb Wwc snowdrop and have gotten two DMs with the same message being hey this guy has it send him a email. Both accounts that I got dm from are fairly new with no posts. So big red flag for me so glad I didn’t go through and placed that order from the first guy sending me a email to hit up.

If there is a sticky created it should state Not to send you cash to unknown persons through unprotected methods and Do not respond to messages claiming said person (s) have what you need. Meet up and inspect your goods. These scammers change their aliases like underwear so when you post a list of names they have already moved on to another to add to this so called list. That list will grow quickly and does VERY LITTLE to stop fraud. Being scammed starts with YOU. Again if you stop sending money so loosely and practice common sense you will be hard to scam. They can't take your money if you don't gift it to them. One Sticky One Post. No Scam watch needed. Protect Yourself....

It does and I have all ready added that BOLDED, the pattern of scammers have dwindled since doing it as you can see from the list. .. I also try and bump it up every couple days so it hits the "whats new" as there are multiple sub forums and would be to time consuming to update one in each forum.

What would help fix the issue is to disable the ability to send PM's until a user reached a certain post count but alas only an admin can do that.
