Hey everyone, 

I am sure most people are aware of this, but being new to the group I have 
to admit I was a bit surprised to find that the overwhelming majority of 
direct messages I received in response to my recent WTB post were scams. 

I had two separate people use the same pictures in their replies, with one 
having had the items poorly edited into a different AI-generated 
background. Another went the lazy route of copying an image from an 
existing eBay listing, but then was mysteriously unable to provide 
additional photos. 

Be on the lookout and make sure to ask questions. Some of the emails were 
quite good, but in continuing the conversations and asking questions, the 
telltale signs of AI-generated content emerged. 

All-in-all, I received replies from five people to my post (looking for 
some Sackville bags), and only one turned out to be legitimate. I am not 
sure if there is a way to report these users, but if there is, please let 
me know and I will forward the conversations to that person.

Thank you!
