PSA: Don't respond to scammers posting visitor messages

There was a new account STRIP78 who had 0 posts and was posting messages on user profiles telling users to send an email for an item. I assume they trawled through the recent WTBs in the classifieds and just spammed the accounts.

If you're interacting with someone you don't know, it's best to ask for images with a post-it note of today's date (an extra step to photoshop), or jump on a video call with them.

See below images for some samples visitor messages to jeffreymcneiill and anthony.gibbon01:
