Obvious Scam
I post this in our collective, ongoing effort to root out scammers and help each other avoid getting scammed.
I started a post on the the auto part of the BST stating I wanted to buy signed, slabbed Yogi Berra cards. I did not leave an email address bc I know there are scammers and they do not need my email address. Below is a screenshot of a private message I got. Clearly a scam. First, who the hell calls someone buddy (especially if they never met). Second, the grammar is terrible. Third, it’s odd that someone I dont know would contact me for another “member”. Fourth, they say their friend has “it” when I posted wanting multiple/plural - signed cardS. Fifth, the whole thing just smelled like fish.
So I looked up the username - joined today, no posts.
Clearly a scam. Way too many red flags. If it walks and quacks like a duck, it’s likely a scammer.
Be vigilant and don’t be a sucker
Maybe post other examples of attempted scams so people can spot them quickly and easily
