They probably use throwaway email accounts anyway. I would suggest not doing deals through email at all & if you MUST, never use F&F. I doubt a scammer would ever accept PPG&S. BTW I have a proton account & I'm not a scammer.

All For Sale threads must have a pic showing the knife being sold with written date listed, your username & Bladeforums or BFC to prevent photo harvesting from elsewhere - scammers hate this one trick! The rules for The Exchange can be found here. Please read and follow them. Stop using Paypal Friends & Family and follow our best practices to prevent getting ripped off or having a bad deal.

Watch out for this scammer posing as a seller using these two emails: pan.flip70@gmail.com and gehlcam@gmail.com
Anytime you post your email publicly, scammers like this are likely to try to take advantage of you.

I also was emailed from pan.flip70@gmail.com on 06/21 regarding buying a knife I posted I would take.
"Hey man,
Consider it yours. $160 shipped. PayPal info is; @DemetroPerez Send via F&F no notes. Also, provide your shipping information.
Thank you!"
He almost got me as this seemed like a legit email response, until I questioned why he emailed rather than PM on the forum.
"Ran out of PM on the forum. Rest assured, PayPal info is; @DemetroPerez Send via F&F no notes."
Be cautious of these scammers.
