Known Scammers get banned, but this thread has the most comprehensive list on OSO.

FYI.....Our contact person with IB is checking with the tech support team to see if they can make the 10 post rule for sending PM's like it is for posting pics.

This is now in effect and only members with 10 posts can send or view PM's. Hopefully this will help reduce the problem some.

That rule would be easy to work around. I would be very sus of anyone replying to a wanted ad here who isn't an established member of this forum.

I agree that its not hard to get around the 10 post rule. It just creates another step for them to go through and worthless posts by scammers will get noticed and hopefully reported, while scammer PM's only get seen by the recipients.

The 10 post rule for PM's seems to be working well. There have not been any reported PM's or reports of PM scammers.

Scammer on the run
 

Scammer luke otaro if that’s his real name. Reached out to me about a prop I wanted. Fair price fair deal. Only would accept payment without buyer protection. I sent payment via pay pal with buyer protection and I covered his pay pal fees with alittle extra on top. He refused payment and gave a refund. Continued to Harass me a few more hours with calls/ texts..Trying to Schwindel me into paying him 1/2 then when I got the prop, To send him the rest… who refuses full payment when I send a few bucks extra to make sure the fee is covered? Googled the phone number and it is linked to multiple scams on OSO & scream and fly. Just hope to save someone from getting scammed…. 814-891-7011

I often send P.M to a wanted add if it is something that i have.
Less internet exposure means less chance of a scammer mimicking my profile.
Will most likely be posting some adds in the near future.
Old lady wants to move asap and I am losing my J.O.B. at the end of the year

I just got a PM from this guy that has scam written all over it.

https://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/.../fredliam.html

PM: "Hey I’ve got a friend who has a 6.3L 383 engine in really good shape. contact him via email [email protected]
or text him at 234-268-7581"

He's been here a couple days and has 10 post, all of which are gibberish on a single thread...

Hey I just got a PM from same guy saying he had a friend with a Hynautic k5b cylinder, I have not replied to it, scam?

Hey thanks for this post as I was gonna reply cause I was looking for some K5B Hynautic steering rams, checked his posts and yes they are gibberish.
