Messages from new members replying to wanted ads - PLEASE READ

[patracy]

There has been an influx of scammers to the site. I've set the board to manual approval at this point to look at every account and accept/deny. If you post a WTB ad and someone with no posts and registered in the same day or recently sends you a message. Odds are, it's a scam. If they tell you to reach out to another person via phone or email, this too sounds an alarm of being a scam.

If someone is legitimately new and sincere, they should have no problem sending you a picture of said item with a piece of paper with your name/screenname/whatever written on it in frame of the picture.

Is the premium membership still a thing? I’d like to post my FB page and my hmmwv parts inventory on the for sale page.

There's a sticky about how to contact people:

AL - Can't respond to a ad?

The rules have been changed to where only the person that started the ad can add replies. If you want to contact somebody about a item, please use the PM system.

You have to add @ before the name, also. Like this: @Guyfang Or simply ask a Mod to help you.
