They will often reach out to you via private message (or vice versa) or post in the thread asking you to send them an email, then bait you into sending them payment through various means. You really have to be careful and do reverse searches of images they share with you because they may pop up via Google Images from other forums such asn Rennlist etc.

Sometimes even legitimate users here, who may not have logged in for a while, get their accounts hacked, and the scammer uses the member's reputation to act as a legit, trustworthy seller. These are some of the pitfalls of forums these days, unfortunately. As always: Trust, but verify. And if it's too good to be true, it probably is worth walking away.
