    He messaged me about some beaver skulls but it seems very sketchy. Anyone had dealings with this number and can confirm? Screenshot_20230315_154018_Messages.jpg

    Yes, he had everything I was looking for. Told me he lived in Utah, but has an OH area code.

    Oh, first told me his username on here was Mr.Brad, then came back and gave me another username. Always ask alot of questions. Always be suspectful. He should be banned

    NEVER use "Friends and Family" to buy something. Absolute red flag. Yes, the person needs to be reported so they are removed. Money sent Friends and Family is GONE. You have no protection and you will never get it back.

    We have no way to ban him Because we do NOT have a moderator.
    It seems the members do pretty well moderating on our own.

    No banning but the account can and will be deleted if it is reported. You have to report the post or posts and report the user by going to their profile. Ken can not be everywhere at once but reports do get looked at. ... Maybe because most people don't bother doing it and there are not a lot of them.

    only thing that irritrates me is a very few that totally ignore the rules at the top. the biggest offenders are the ones that post remarks on for sale threads sometimes multiple times daily rather than pm the original seller with questions or comments, which is the proper way, rather tan clog up and push down for sale threads. why I say please call me at my phone number or pm me thru this site. if multiple questions are posted on others for sale threads it is rude to me and if on my for sale threads it is rude to all the other sellers
