SOLD This is a scam

[sledneck22]

No he's a real member here.

A few accounts got hacked, and the hacker listed saws for sale, on the hijacked accounts.

Good to know. Didn’t think of hijacked accounts. Thanks.

Happened to my account last year. Figured it out when a fellow member text me about a saw I had no clue was for sale.

If anything ever pops up for sale under my name keep this in mind
I'm far too lazy to drain and box up a saw and drive 14 miles to the ancient post office
And climb 2 flights of slick granite stairs
To try to force an unreasonably narrow door open while fighting to hold onto the box at the
Entrance door that has a unreasonably strong door closer
I've seen frail people bounce off of it.
That's just to get into the damn vestibule
Then it's another fight to get the second door through a narrow walkway to the lobby
Then there's never anybody at the counter
The bell is for looks they get pissed if you ring it
I always ring it nonstop until somebody screams at me.
So it's your fault If you think your buying a saw from me.

I occasionally put a saw up for sale on here, but if there is ever any question of legitimacy, please hit up one of the moderators to confirm with me. I had heard of people's accounts getting hacked, but yesterday was the first time I had seen it....not cool.

...or, you could go on their website and schedule a pickup after paying for a postage label. Won't have to go farther than your front porch, just need to be able to weigh and measure the package and print a label.

Looks like we got some hackers fellas.

Can't our computer genius hack them back?

They will not deliver or pickup from my home
My mailbox is almost 2 miles away at the bottom of the ridge.

I remember you selling the Brooklyn Bridge

Don't let a few bad actors ruin legit sales. Just use care, ask for a reference, a lot of good people still outnumber bad ones. Has anyone stolen or tried to from me, several times.

 

[Stump Shot]

Might help ones saw sale if when placing an ad to call/message a moderator or member friend you know from the forum that could make a post to the legitimacy of the sale thread for you.
Not a blanket fix, but the more that do will make it that much more difficult for a scam sale to not come into question and believed by members.

 

[mkf350]

Just saw this....
Changed password.
It was a scam! I DID NOT POST THIS.
Sorry for any confusion.

 

[redline4]

What I find interesting is that the asshòles who placed the ads tried to make them as legit as possible.
They were selling saws on a saw forum, using model numbers that matched up with their stolen pics, and in fact when the word scam was brought up by Dan, they replied to it and said it was just an accidental incorrect pic for this ad and that saw was also for sale.
It wasn't just a post for sale and see who messages thing...
I also found it strange that they said payment by Zelle or Venmo. While they are legit apps, almost every clown on here uses PayPal.

Your last sentence makes zero sense, to me at least.

Can you interpret it?

I sold a motorcycle to an attorney in Mt. Peasant Michigan and his check bounced, paid for siding material so local construction company would start our house, never showed up. In both cases got my money back. I do not believe all people are out to steal from you, was a young guy and now just more careful and have dealt with many honest people.

Maybe just tag a moderator in the first post of a for sale thread?

On mine, they had changed my email address on my account, so if a moderator checked sent them an email, it would go to the scammers. I don’t sell many things on here, but I have traded a few items with folks. I’ve done business with @Mastermind, but usually just drop it off at his place. If it looks too good to be true, it usually is.

 

[exCanuck]

I would tread carefully on every single new for sale post from today fellas, some shady stuff is happening
