Scammed by scammed account of mjclark32

Good points Steve.

I have a quick thought - would it be a good idea to use 2-factor authentication for our boutique sellers and other long-time sellers?

This would cut the risk of phishing for a single password by scammers. It would also build a more secure environment for members to do deals. Sellers who accept 2-factor might get a star beside their username.

It would not work for a member whose account was compromised without 2-factor - for example a longtime non-seller member who suddenly became a seller after the scammer controlled the account. So 2-factor authentication should require approval via the registered email address on the TRF user’s profile. The odds are very low of a scammer gaining control over a TRF ID and a registered email account at the same time.
