One would think. But every single one of them will have multiple PM's within minutes of being posted. All they gotta do is post something cheap and guys will be falling all over themselves to be the first one in line to get screwed.
It's not just the PM's either. It's important to understand that responding to an ad like that in any way, be it PM, one of the emoji responses, or replying to the thread - even if you're replying with a negative comment - is a positive engagement as far as the scammer is concerned. Giving a response, any response, is just encouraging them to keep coming back and making the problem worse.

I remember when a female member, probably a fat sweaty guy in mommies basement, scammed a few dumbasses. High dollar optic and a Beretta come to mind.
Greed is the only reason the scams work.
I'm pretty new around here and I mostly lurk but the moment I posted a looking-to-buy ad I instantly got these in my DMs. Had one guy tell me pretty much word for word the same thing and quickly realized it was a scam. Sent him an IP grabber link because I was curious where he was really from (had terrible english too) and surprise surprise, IP came up from Ghana. He got banned pretty damn fast.
If people would report them we can get them sorted pretty quick.

I have reported one that was so obvious but I got a response right away that it was NOT suspicious of a scam account. I would recommend a second look like guys, just saying.
