So in the last two days it seems several members have been scammed by the same group or guy all transfers are to a PayPal with a 1656 231 9385 number and various names . Be diligent with your trust!!!!

So simple to verify but yet nobody does their own vetting? Probably a cash phone from Walmart. Seriously, are that gullible and naive?

People lose money trying to avoid paying 3%.

Cash app
venmo
paypal f&f

Run from these with strangers.

Don't buy expensive things from people with little to no feedback or posts. Problem solved.

Sounds like the scammers are disguising themselves as legitimate, time honored guys, known here and elsewhere.

The issue is people post their phone number or emails on threads openly, then scammers jump in and pose as the seller.

Few tips:
- Don't post a WTB ad
- Don't post "I'll take it", just send them a PM
- if someone says the PayPal is their wife's, brother's, kids, etc, don't send the money
