SELLER: SCAM ALERT

[22-250Ryan]

Posted a WTB ad a few days ago and get a text message from a gmail address. [email protected]

I'm 100% sure it's a scam as they sent me a text at 2oclock in the morning with pics of an item close to what I'm looking for but not exactly. Has anyone been contacted by this person?

I'd say it's a scam, who is t ?

[email protected] is the email. Never sent me a pm just texted me directly. Not sure how they got my phone #. Looks like possibly off of an old ad

Copy that, if they didn't respond here I'd definitely say it's a scammer

I agree

One thing is never post contact info in your ad. Anyone, anywhere on the planet can contact you and say they are anybody they want and have what ever you want to buy. Make them contact you through the site's PM feature. While not foolproof, you won't be getting texts from Nigeria.

WTB ads are a beacon for scammers.
As @DNB said never post phone number or address in your ad.
