A new rash of fraud hitting the Forum.
If you place a Wanted Ad and get a response suggesting they have or know a person who can supply the item be alert and protect yourself:

. Verify that the member is not a recently created new member.  Verify in member profile.
. If they have few points probably not an active member.
. Request funds to be paid via PayPal Friends and Family.

As long as there's a pond with fish in it, they'll keep dropping bait in the water.

As far as scammers go, ban one, three more turn up. The best defense is to educate the community and the mods are doing their best Clap

I sent a message to an admin about a scammer. Member messged me about my wanted ad telling me to email a guy who was selling some stuff. I did and that person (or same person) tried to sell me someone else's item that I already knew about and did ended up buying. Scammer kept on trying to sell me that same item even after I already purchased it from the legitimate seller.

Never heard back from admin on this.

From what I understand, billd is the admin, and he is not frequenting this site like he used to. The two mod's who do come around regularly are ramblinrev and gtoman_us. Submit your concerns to them.

Always wondered how a guy with  the handle gtoman got to be a mod on an AMC site, but hey, he does good work...
