Default Probable/guaranteed fraudster in the Classifieds

Some dough head is advertising some very spendy optics in the classifieds and he posted a pile of posts last night that all consisted of simply a single “.”

Thats it, just a period, in 14 separate threads. Now he’s ‘selling’ a set of Leica rangefinding binoculars, ‘asking $3200 for quick sale’.

Beat it, bridges1982. You’ve been reported.

I saw that too. He pulled a thread of mine form the spring and added '.'.
I was wondering why that thread popped up again?

Unsurprisingly, the fraudster has not put in a location. I have reported it to the mod's.

Good job Caber. I saw the period posts but never thought to check out why. Should have guessed he just wanted on the buy sell.

It’s helpful when they’re so stupid to be that pathetically obvious about not being legitimate. Thanks Dumbo!!
