Lately I have been seeing a lot of scam activity on here especially if you are active in the buying/selling side of this forum. They all start out the same, you will receive a pm saying something like this: "So and so has the item/fish you are looking for in good condition, their email is _____". Every time I've emailed the address, they all only have stock photos of the item and will not disclose their phone number or area they reside in. They will refuse any specific photos like if you ask for a photo with their hand in the background. If you get an email like this, it is most likely a scam, and I would avoid and report it.
