A SCAM

[chucklenut]

tired of seeing the scams coming out of this

its simple folks, you post that you want to buy X, douchebag creates new account with the sole purpose of contacting you and saying "this guy has this, email him at blah blah blah". its simple fishing, you send money and then they will ghost you

so, how to avoid?
1) new user with no feedback should be avoided
2) all deals should be done through private message system. emailing or calling someone takes it off the odt platform
3) dont ship or send money, its just that simple, not unless you know the user

seriously, use some common sense because the ODT will not help you recover money sent to some thieving asshole

I think those advices you are giving are pretty much common sense, but, seems like the common sense isn't so common anymore. Thanks anyway

Number 2 is a must, if not you are stepping in #2!

Who sends money to the email account of a new member ? Some lessons have to be learned the hard way

Placed an ad last night looking for a table saw. My buddy traced down the only response I’ve gotten. Pakistan.

Lumber is probably still affordable there.
