SCAM ALERT: User ROLLLYPOLY hacked.

I posted a WTB for a watch. This user (rolllypoly) messaged me and sent pics and an email address for contact.
I asked for some security (a local shop, a drivers license pic, a video chat, a PayPal invoice) but seller demanded wire transfer and refused anything else. Kept promising honesty, and cussing the scammers. He even sent a reference from TRF.
So, I started digging...
Looked up the user's old posts, found a watch for sale which included phone number from about a year ago.
Phone went to the real account owner, and he confirmed it was not him selling a watch. Guess he got phished.

Interesting, the scammer used an email similar to the true account holder, just added an extra letter at the end. Subtle.
