Formerly TheGuitarWeasel ... Oil City Pickups ... Oil City Blog 7 String.org profile and message
Another suspiciously cheap sale from an account that hasn't been active for a while and when it was, was largely active in the trading forums.
Edit: not wanting to spread panic but can't ignore...
Yep that's another one that's a definite scam, no need to investigate that further. Right click > inspect on all embedded images on that thread shows the image sources are all pointing to a Craiglist URL.
Looks as dodgy as a retirement plan for Kamikaze pilots ...

We've amended our process for signups, which should stop them getting in, and I've changed a few bits regarding existing user profiles which should prevent them from screwing with people.
I'm going to be out this evening, and a good portion of tomorrow, but I'll keep checking in to keep an eye on everything.

up to 150 on the fundraiser by the way.. link in OP for anyone in a position to donate, I’m sure anything appreciated!!
Is there a way to set a time limited reputation for members?
X amount of posts within the last x weeks before they can sell items. Even if it is something simple as a badge, or even just telling members to have a look at a profile to show this kind of stat.
Start the practice of the full transaction to be openly discussed in posts rather than PM.
Sales above a certain value to include a third party, mod/admin before the buyer pulls the trigger.
I will stop here or I will be here all night.
And, on the basis of their previous performance dealing with scammers on here, after we provided them with more than enough evidence to take it to court...they're woefully inadequate at it.
Enjoy your evening out, you deserve it.
