Marketplace threads being hijacked by scammers

Just got a DM from someone who was posing as the seller. Didn't notice until days later that it wasn't even him. Original seller replied to my comment and that's when I realized it wasn't him. BE CAREFUL.

I replied to a posting and I've been getting bombarded with fake replies from @Nato and one other who I can't find the email of.
I was confused because I saw the email but didn't see the PM. I guess NAM lets people email you directly through the forum without keeping any record.

Recommend going to User Control Panel > Edit Options > make sure these are unchecked. Then at least there's some record of the scam.
