The scammers are back (as opposed to spammers)

Just a note that a member recently posted he was looking for something and sure enough two brand new members tried to sell him stuff.

If you get a response or personal message and it looks too good to be true - Guess what?
If the other person is brand new and never made a single post - Guess what?
If you try to sell something and ANYTHING sounds flaky - Guess what?

The answer is NOT

Ok, so when they make their fake accounts, they're just trying to gain some "friends" to sell stuff to? That makes sense, considering that they can't do much just by posting fake bike experiences, and questions.

Beats me but the nuking spammer and scammer accounts can be like playing Whack-A-Mole at an arcade.
