just scammers everywhere. In the amplifier for sale thread, posters who are not the OP DM you offering to make the deal. shdhgb got banned. Dude gave a venmo name that didnt even exist in venmo (easy giveaway). other poster also had same issue:

Scammers

Same. I replied to a thread with a question (since I'm too noob to DM) - I received 4 DM's from scammers with 0 posts and 0 reputation asking me to text them.

The worst part is - people respond and interact with scammers thinking of them as OP (without checking the username), get scammed and then blame the OP for scamming! Had that happen to me recently on a for sale post I put up.
