There has been a rash of scamers in the classifieds here. Be careful. If it seems too good to be true, it is probably a scam. I got took for $700. It won't happen again
Myself, other moderators as well as admin staff have not noticed a sudden increase in the frequency of bogus Classifieds posting. Perhaps you could elaborate on the comment ‘a rash of scammers’ which implies a proliferation in dishonest advertisers/posters?There has been a rash of scamers in the classifieds here. Be careful.

Understood - sorry, if you have had a bad experience on here.Sorry, It just happened this weekend. It was my fault. I was reading a post on here that basically said the same thing. I am hoping PayPal will cover it as I had them send a PayPal invoice. I will try to find the post I was reading. I did not put this up to fault the forum as you warn us to be careful. It's on me
Actually, I got my money back this morning. The guy had a bull**** story as to why he didn't ship. This was only my second bad experience with forums. I have done a great deal on Phantom Pilots Forum over the years. I had a bad experience on there with a long time member. The guy just got busy and forgot to ship and didn't answer emails. Just one of those things.I've had several great transactions here in a relatively short amount of time, both as a buyer and seller. How about setting up an area for feedback (good and bad) on classified transactions?
