WTB pollution

[FredRydr]

Based on JDVO's posts here, I am editing this OP.

New members must be on notice that scammers have more numerous lately, and even legitimate posts that appear similar to posts of swindlers will damage your reputation right off the bat. So if you are new, use common sense to earn trust with other members before making sales offers. Your first posts to FPGeeks shouldn't be offers of expensive pens in response to WTB listings. Keep in mind this is primarily a hobby forum.

Word must be spreading across the dark web that pen people are lucrative targets. It seems scammers are not only more numerous lately, but also much more obvious.

JDVO's shotgun approach to want-to-buy ads using wording reminiscent of past scammers, posted only 4 minutes apart, justifiably raises suspicion.

Unlike scammers that remain silent when outed, JDVO has responded to my doubts with photos and descriptions of his offerings. Interested buyers need only use their common sense, too. If you like the transactions, by all means, share the joy.
