I’ve ran into something odd like this last winter after I first joined. Not with my profile but some others. I posted on the WTB that I was looking for a watch to buy (not knowing better). Received a message from a “seller” with details and some pics of the watch he had. He didn’t have many posts, maybe around 50 or so, but gave me some references on here. I reached out to them and all verified their transactions with him. We then went back and forth a bit by email, we exchanged info, but something about the way he was writing and somewhat pushy didn’t seem right. So I followed up once again with one of his references to make sure the info he gave me checked out.

This time the reference messaged me back not knowing what I was talking about. He said that wasn’t him that was communicating with me and had no prior dealings with this seller. We were both very surprised as to what had happened. I immediately told this person I was no longer transacting and notified the mods on TRF of what happened. They banned his profile.
