Re: Scam alert

Primary indication of a possible scam is the total lack of any posts to any extent. It takes time and effort to post threads and most scammers are out for the quick $$ they can score with no intention of building a background of various posts and replies. On occasion I have received a PM from a newer member with a request to buy. Always reply to them that PM sales are not per board rules and reply intent to purchase in the thread. Always met with a polite, oops, okay, I can do that.

Might add, I have a gmail account and have had it for years. Didn't realize that was a scam signal?
