Intercepted my dealing with another member. After trying to purchase something I pm'd for the seller to reach out via cell if it was easier. (I was at work) a few min later I got a pm with a phone number from this account. Working and seeing the email of the notification I did not pick up on the fact it was from another user (Cokwf98) I texted the number and made a deal on shipping etc. He wanted to use Zelle which I was vaguely familiar. and about 4 hours later I got a reply from the original seller responding to my thread asking how I wanted to handle payment and shipping.


SO I'm not sure how the scammer account reached out to me with a phone number but I fell for it.

Beware of similar scams. Sucks to lose money.

How did a new user with only two posts in their history get PM access?

I suspect what happened is that the above poster left his contact info on the sellers visitor messages in their profile, which is *not* a PM and obviously visible to the public.....

The thread is still up. All I posted on the thread was that I was "interested"....
