Default derbykaren400
I had a issue with derbykaren400 last week, they answered a wanted ad I had and asked to contact them thru g mail which I did. I asked for pics of the item which they sent. Something just wasn't right so I asked for a pic of the item with a dollar bill next to it and that created a whole sh-- load of problems. So beware of them.

That person was banned shortly after they joined the site, I checked their IP address and they were in Lagos, Nigeria.

A tip: for whatever reason, scammers from overseas often use screen names that are made up of two unusual names plus a number (like derbykaren400) so if you see that sort of thing it's usually a good clue.

Doing business with established PY members only would be the safest bet.

Any new members without any posts are highly suspect. No matter how badly you might need something they’re offering just resist the temptation, it’s just not worth the risk.

9 of my 21 years overseas was in Nigeria. I used to like getting the scams about the dead ambassador, etc leaving money, and after a bit of back and forth emails, I’d take a picture of something local and tell them I could be there in about 10 minutes, It would usually end the emails for a while.

Don't trust Kurt parker on here as trynsave. Misrepresented a radio I bought. I sent it back at my expense. Was told by him that he would refund me. Researching him online showed other people having the same issue with him

Make it 50 posts till you can sell things.
Make it so New members can’t see the classifieds till they have been around for a while.

Seriously. I'm amazed that anyone keeps getting fooled by these scams.
