    @PINEAPPLE - this thread won't last more than a few minutes but you definitely found a spirited individual.

    Thats a good thing, at 50 my stamina is losing steam. HA! This dip**** had at least 4 ads on the cl***ifieds that I saw. I just want to keep the family from losing lettuce and hope.. We have to police ourselves.

    He has deleted the wheels ad.. quickchange, merc dash and a few others are still up.. Check the name.. I think we all should be asking for additional pics from now on if it dont feel right.. If they cant provide, stay away.

    The interesting part is this is a profile joined in 2007 with 5100 posts.

    My guess is an existing profile was hacked. @Ryan can look at the logs and work his magic.

    @raaf Agreed! I was struggling, but I took that ****ing picture. When there was no more pics, I knew it.. I also saw the quickchange for 400 bucks.. I bet you are right, hacked. Sum*****

    @PINEAPPLE - wait, did you say quickchange for $400?

    At that price, maybe it's worth a try? :)

    When they repurpose you're own **** it gets kinda creepy. You probably thought you were going crazy.

  19. I thought that indyjps was a long time, productive member of this place? Had to have been hacked.

  20. Looking at his post history, it looks like it started yesterday morning. You can tell by the weird posts made by his account starting at 9:44am

    What's wrong with people like this? I know there is money involved, but it's a hobby and to lots of people a way of life. Thank you for helping all of us.

    Indyjps is an old member, I doubt he would try to scam anyone. His account must have been hacked…. dirtbags.

    In 30 years, I know of two times an account was hacked. It’s easy enough to verify. I’ll do the work today.

    Yep. Hacked. Looks like he had a really simple p***word. Whoever did it was from Australia. Won’t take me long before I narrow it down.

    Well I banned based on the posts in the last 24 hours and stolen pics, lower than believable prices.
    I was thinking with the claimed Hawaii location and prices included shipping was a BS scam.

    Hopefully restore the original OP back in good graces.

    I can fix his account. Dropping kids off at school… will do as soon as I get back. Don’t Unban yet.

    “Hacker” is the Australian stalker guy we’ve been having issues with the last few years. He just guessed a p***word that was far too simple.

    Good catch Pineapple! You saved some members wallets for sure.
    The instantaneous justice from the board of directors was nice too.
