Scam alert

For those who post in WTB section, keep an eye out for scammers.
This is the second time I'm getting a message like this from a member with zero history. In my previous interaction just for entertainment I emailed the scammer and was offered a 20K watch for only $1000 or so. Doing a google reverse image search made it clear he doesn't have the watch he's trying to sell me.

Stay safe out there

Tried a similar approach with me, but the zero rating made me to suspicious to bother engaging with the Mug

This was the same guy who messaged me earlier today about a speedmaster box.

Please always report, we deal with them quickly. The reason they want to use email is they know we will ban them rapidly so it’s a big red flag when they want to avoid the PM system.

Do you think it would be a good idea to require users to at least have couple posts/likes before they can message other users?

It would just cause spam and problems then lead to the same thing unfortunately. We get them quite quickly though in general.
