How to Catch Scammers
To protect yourself, it's a good idea to do google reverse image search before purchasing. Thanks @VeganGirl for quick tips on how to.
Also if you see any fraud or scammer, please PM the mods with all the PM with them and we'll perma ban them. Quote:

You can usually right click and "search image on google" as well! I find that useful.

As I said in the other thread:
When anybody responds to a WTB thread you should check out their stats before doing much of anything else. In the above posts: In Jake's case he made the profile on July 6 so we can presume it was for the simple act of replying to the request. Daul had one post right when he joined in March and coincidently enough it was just to say a PM was sent in response to a WTB thread. Now of course that does not mean that anybody that responds needs to have 100s of posts but in both those cases their out of the blue responses with no other activity should set off all sorts of red flags.
