Just got hit up by a scammer answering my add for the NACRA main and jib. I am new to the forum so I am wondering how common this is. Can the moderators do anything?

@77sailor 

How did the scammed contact you? The classifieds are designed so that contact has to come either by the contact form built into the ad, or the phone number if it is supplied.

Neither of those are available unless the scammer has an account and logged in.  So please send me a copy of the contact email you received by PM so I can identify the account of the scammer and identify them.

There are a lot of measures in place to prevent spammers/scammers from registering accounts and using contact forms, but some are bound to get through and need to be reported.

Thanks

Okay, I will do that shortly. The 3 or 4 exchanges were all in my email inbox.
