Let's say you see a classified ad on TRF with a watch you like, something offered by a well known trusted seller. How do you verify that the person you are contacting via PM here is in fact that seller. If their TRF account got hacked, you could well be wiring money to a scammer.

This occurred to me when I noticed a gmail address in a post by Ponycar350, when most of his ads do not contain one. I went back and searched older posts by him and found a few that referenced this same address, so the post is legit. But someone who hijacked a TRF account like that for a few days could steal a lot of money:(
