I had someone message me with a user name that was one character different from a seller, and I didn't notice right away. Only after we were texting back and forth did I realize something was off. The next day when I checked my DMs again, I noticed the user name was off. Had I sent him money, I would have lost.

Yea, because the administration here won't. They refuse to take simple steps to reduce these instances.

Yes. It’s bad out there. Be very careful. If it feels bad, or too good, proceed with care.

I had somebody contact me out of the blue with a grand total of 2 posts for an item I had listed for sale years ago. I wish the moderators/admin people would do their job! I'd hate to see this site get overrun with scammers/spammers.

I was approached by the user Jsons about a TVS900. He sent me some pictures he stole from Jan's post in 2018, claiming it was his stuff, he even edited a picture to put a note on it with his username and date. STAY AWAY from Jsons, he has some other stuff for sale here.

what’s the easiest way to get all his listings removed?

hit the red triangle with the exclamation point in it in his posts. it will be reported to the administration to be deleted, usually pretty quickly.

Thanks guys. It really sucks that scammers are trying to screw us over even in this kind of forums.
