This is a one time experiment with this clown, generally I know its not a good idea to encourage these guys and wont be doing this again.... but just wanted to see where this would go. He did seem to know a bit about cards ... but never again for me with this type of thing. We've got to figure a way to screen these dudes out.... seems like they get their cues to start when you post WTB posts... as I have never had problems before trying WTB.

Do all of these WTB threads include an email address in the body of the post? Seems to be the only way to access members without being a member, maybe I'm missing something.

Registrations need to be approved. These scammers are getting in without doing that. Therefore they have access to the BST.

Very sad but not surprising. As mentioned earlier this scammer made it real easy and obvious
Some are more versed and polished.
Luckily we have learned from each other hopefully that helps prevent others in this forum from being scammed.

Thanks for sharing

So basically they can see them from a simple Google or other search engine search. Is there a way to make them only visible to registered users? I know on some of the sports boards I belong to some areas can be viewed by all, but some only to registered users.

That is exactly opposite of what I said, thanks. ONLY registered users, logged in, should be able to see the BST areas.
You should not be able to do a google search and see the BST unless you are logged in (and therefore registered). The scammers get in by registering and being approved without going through the normal process. As far as I know they aren't getting in from a search.

to answer.... no I did not post my email in the BST on either WTB post. I was contacted by both scammers through PMs on Net54 only not through any email which I never provided. On a side note.... just bought a card from a member since 2009 with over 5000 posts tonite and I was a little nervous before I hit that PayPal button after the last few days LOL but I did it anyway!

Keep in mind that you can change the viewing angle of an image in about 30 seconds on an iPhone. Some scammers may try this with an image they find online.
