I received 2 messages "responding" to a WTB thread I started with almost identical messages (from different user and contact names) directing me to text the same phone number.

I believe these to be a scam/phishing attempt. Maybe I am wrong but I am never going to send my number via text to something like this from today and from 2 weeks ago:

I got the same private message contact several months ago in response to a 'want to buy' post I made. I texted Rita and got all kinds of mis information about corals and anemones. Her "husband died" and she was trying to clear out his livestock. Prices changed from minute to minute and got lower each time I said I'd have to think about it. Glad I passed as it really didn't sound legit.

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
