Feeding garbage bears !

[Old Gobbler]

Guys , when one of you sends money to a scammer , you not only are robbed of your hard earned money ..YOU create a headache for ME  because the scammers are more motivated to register more FAKE profiles that are becoming ever increasingly time consuming

DO NOT give money to low post members

DO NOT respond to personal messages re-dirrecting you to a Email

Garbage bears always come back with more reinforcements

And here I thought this was going to be about a possible Florida bear season proposal.  LOL.

I have only been a member for a year or so but I've received about four of those redirect pm's. Most other forums I'm on it's common practice to post in a sellers ad you're going to send a pm. I have stopped doing that here because of the "you can get in touch with him faster via X email address" messages that show up in my messages center.

I have bought and sold several things on here and have had nothing but positive transactions both ways.

I do not understand why people keep sending these people money.. A lot of us long time members tell people on the forum all the time DON"T FEED THE BEAR

Common sense would tell you to check people out before doing any transaction. Any time the deal changes or is otherwise not what you expected, STOP. TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, is. Redirecting is never cool. I hope we all keep our eyes and ears open and share info. Z

Sad to say,but they almost deserve to lose their money when they wont listen...
Some people just HAVE to try it thinking it won't happen to them...
Sometimes tough Love imo is the best option!😂
