Possible Scammer?

[massacre]

We all know the deal- got a private message from a new member with 1 post, regarding a Wanted thread i had posted regarding pass side window glass for my Zephyr. Says he has my part and i should email him. I countered by asking for pictures sent to my email.
The pic that was sent was not window glass, it was a mirror. And it wasn't even a passenger side mirror. Then like 10 pushy emails asking if I am "still going to buy this"? even though i never said i wanted to buy it.

Just letting others know, this seems to happen a lot on other forums that i am on.

Many boards don't allow PM's until you have 20-25 posts. Used to think it was annoying, as those who are not on the board already, can't really contact you if they stumble on your for-sale ad. But these days with bots and/or AI, might be time to do that here also.

More than likely a bot.

It's a common thing I've run into on forums.

Ideally the admin(s) would implement some simple remediation tactics here as others have said....But they haven't even fixed the original URL yet so I wouldn't hold my breath with any sort of improvements. It's the wild unsecured west here.

Keep your eyes peeled and read between the lines folks.
