Just got an email from 'Solomon Smith' at solomon03smithATgmail.com telling me he knows someone who has the canards I'm looking for in my WTB post in the classifieds here. And of course he wants me to wire the money ASAP. Another Solomon Smith (with different email addy) did this in another WTB of mine about a year ago.

I tracked his IP and it popped to Portland, OR but I'm almost positive that's a proxy for an operation in Ghana. There has been a rise in Portland IPs being associated with scams and phishing in recent months.

So, just be on the lookout for this POS and don't fall into his trap.

Honestly you shouldn't ever post WTB ads.
"Oh what a coincidence! I have EXACTLY the item you are looking for.....!"

Honestly, that's kind of nonsense. Just be careful when doing it. I've had many successful transactions from WTB posts here.

I simply asked for a picture of the item with his full name and current date handwritten on a piece of paper. Never heard from him again.

Just know you are increasing your risk of being ripped off. Not criticizing you, just a PSA...

Hello, let me know if you have any lead or order on your wtb ad, if you are still in the market I can help you out.
