Is it me or are there many MANY scam accounts and scammers on fb now?

Since I got canned from obm for an unknown reason, all the other groups when I inquire about looking for a certain cue they all come out. With tons of new gear strange names, everyone’s got what I need for half retail .

Scamming is an actual industry, guys in Russia and India sit in cubicles scamming all day, they get paid a cut of whatever they get for the bosses

My Wife raises, breeds and sells Olde English and French Bulldogs. It got to the point it was impossible to sell anything on any Forum. She has relinquished her Breeding/Kennel License and threw in the towel. Brian.

I actually don't mind the PP fee, as a buyer or seller.

As a seller you just need to video your stuff from bench through the entire packing process; that's assuming you are not the scammer (I've never had a claim against me so I'm not really sure if that is a real safety net). Most of my experience is buying & selling brass instruments that are almost always north of $1K. Shipping and the PP G&S% is a part of doing business.

As a buyer there is that feeling you have some recourse other than posting the bad experience on a forum.

As mentioned above, scamming IS a business.

That's how any rational adult should view it.

One note is that digital payment companies must report Goods/Purchase payment totals exceeding $500 to the IRS, and you will be responsible for taxes on the reported amount.

I thought it had changed to anything over 600. Was I mistaken?
