That's sounds like a great idea. At least we would get a feel for the type of person it is.

I'd make it 100 posts before they are allowed so sell anything. That way you get a better feel if they're legit or not. Same number to even see the Classifieds.

Would be nice to require a post count before selling but I’ve also snagged some good parts from new members on other sites before. I just made sure I knew someone close by that could go there there was a guy on here recently that had a RAII block in California spoke w him a few times seemed pretty legit but I didn’t end up jumping because I didn’t have anyone nearby. May have missed out a great deal but I’d rather have my $$$

I think common sense, sometimes fails when some see the magical "I have this part" response and clearly overlook the obvious red flags.

Post throttling / scams
Am of the impression "junior members" have their post count throttled, anyway. Have been on this site for five years, but notice most posts go unrecorded. Meaning the post one just made, doesn't register under one's user name. It seems harder and harder, for an honest seller to move stuff, anymore. Has everything moved to the fb marketplace??

Posts in the lobby don't count towards your post count, if that's what you're seeing. |

Nope have hardly ever posted in this section. It appears to be all across the website.

Your post count is low because your main mission here is selling parts. Posts in the tech forums are what will boost your count. |

How do we report a scammer?
I received a PM from a new member (Benson44) that says:
Have you checked with Williams, You can confirm from him, his contact is (408) 713-9568 he has it available. I purchased items from him in the past and they arrived in top condition. Obviously a scam, how do we tag these people to weed them out?

Contact a moderator.
Everyone should just be cautious, don’t fall for obvious scams. Quite honestly there’s not much we can do other than ban them, it’s up to the members to not be trusting of everyone who offers up something they need. Someone completely anonymous who you don’t know and will steal your money in a flash. |

I googled that ph# and scam alerts popped up everywhere with it.

Scam Alert
I posted a wanted ad in the parts section and just received a pm message telling me to contact a certain individual at a phone number. No other info was left. The person sending me the pm had just joined today and had no info at all in his public profile. I googled the phone number and it came up several times as that of a scammer. Be on the lookout!!!!
