He also contacted me via Tapatalk asking for an email not a PM.
Last time he listed a Rolex Hulk for sale and I do not even own one.

Where is our safety net?


What safety net are you meaning?

Any account, even yours, can be hijacked.

How would Forum software and/or Mods know it isn’t you logging in from a different IP address?

Only 2-factor log-in would cover that.

Yeah he contacted me about an item I'd already sold; noticed he used an email that was different than the one you use in your listings, so red flags went up!
