Please note:

If the deal is too good to be true…..it’s probably a scam!

If the seller wants an unprotected form of payment….its probably a scam!

If the seller is acting sketchy…..it’s probably a scam!

If the seller is selling “for someone else”….its probably a scam!

If you suspect a scammer on R2R please report them. They will never know you reported them.

Thank you!

Seems to be the season

Big time! The past couple days multiple old accounts that were otherwise sitting idle are all of a sudden selling. Please do the duck thing......if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck.....it's a scam.

Yes. I ran across this just a little while ago. It was something I wanted and appeared to be too good to be true. I passed on it and while it may have been legit, I don't know.

In several of the book of the faces groups I belong to there have been several people "selling" orphek, kessil, and other lights and equipment for $60. I have seen several people post about getting scammed after posting payments. If you're buying used locally, don't pay until the item is in hand and tested.....

This place is safer than Epstein's Island for reporting!

@kevgib67 Arizona is looking nice this time of year!
