The positive is the scams are low effort, at least.
Poor grammar and syntax? Check Immediate request to email a different address? Check Cheap crappy Android designed for second and third world markets in the Tapatalk sent from? Check May they never get better and high effort.

They make a pretty impressive product considering it costs like ~$70 USD. It's really a wonderful thing that access to completely functional and useful smartphones are spreading down quickly to poorer and poorer residents of low standard of living countries, so much potential here to create better quality of life and open new opportunities for previously disconnected people. Unfortunately in the context of western collecting hobbies, encountering these phones = 100% a scammer lol

Member verfification checklist
Similar to Ryan's (hi Ryan) first post, here are some more/redundant, thoughts. They can't be stressed enough. Rarely a day goes by that I don't get PM's concerning verifying members and that is a good thing.
When you think you have received one of those scam PM's or emails - 1. Check to see if they are already banned. 2. Do they have broken/really poor grammar? 2. Check to see when they registered. 3. Check to see how many, and what kind of, posts they have made. 4. Trying to take money via a no refund method and in a hurry. If they have been here for years with lots of posts, they aren't a troll/scammer. Anyone can still do a bad deal but those are telltale signs of the trolls. KNOW YOUR TRADING PARTNER Please always check with me, or another moderator, if there is any question whatsoever on someone's credibility. . .

I get PMs almost once a day, sometimes more, concerning bad actors just like this.
And this maroon has now been banned. Thanks! Quote:
