I sent a message through contact us, but figured I'd post here as well. The TinyMight 2 for $150 classified listing for $150 that was posted today is a scam. You can find the exact same classified listing from 2 years ago (description and all), with the username picture modified.

Mods, feel free to delete. I just didn't want anyone to get ripped off that isn't familiar with all of these scams.

It's no problem. I'm glad you caught this. I'm hoping no one got scammed. Please use Purchase Protection everyone, even when it looks legit there is always a risk.

Edited to add: there is evidence that this account was compromised. Stay safe out there and please use strong passwords. Consider two-factor authentication.

I got scammed, I had a quick look at the user’s history and it seemed that in the past he’d sold vapes at below market value. This seemed too good to be true and I feel like a complete idiot now.

Damn, that's terrible...
:mad:
fwiw: i almost got scammed too.
Also checked the user's history when i saw the ad and everything looked solid. Only reason i didn't jump on it is because i'm covered TM2-wise but was tempted to get another backup unit at that price anyhow.
So if you're an idiot i'm right there with you.

That's why i wondered how @bosscib spotted the scam, i noticed nothing conspicious tbh.

Sorry to hear that. It definitely seemed legit with the user history.

I was skeptical with the PayPal F&F instead of G&S. I sent them a message and their reply was “2 other people want it, but if I can pay right now it’s mine”. That gave it away for me. I’ve heard about this on other sites, so I decided to search part of the listing description on here.
