Hello PMSforsale!

Here we are again...

**IF YOU FALL FOR THIS SCAM, CREATE A NEW ACCOUNT AND MESSAGE THE MODS IMMEDIATELY SO WE CAN TRY TO MITIGATE THE DAMAGE**
By now we hope you are well aware of [a common scam tactic that's hit our board this past week]
(https://www.reddit.com/r/Pmsforsale/comments/15difsz/meta\_new\_scam\_tactic\_making\_its\_reddit\_rounds/). There's been a few small variations of it, but they all work in essentially the same way.Most unfortunately, **several members including some very high profile ones have fallen for this scam**. [The mod team has tried to identify and ban those accounts permanently]
(https://www.reddit.com/r/Pmsforsale/comments/15fvq49/meta\_an\_update\_on\_the\_new\_scam\_tactic\_making\_its/). At this time we are not confident we have identified all compromised accounts.*PLEASE EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN MAKING DEALS AT THIS TIME*. Compare previous posts and see if there's anything off or materially different (handwriting, styles, asking for payment types not used before, etc). Judge if prices are "too good to be true" and meant as scam bait. **[PLEASE REPORT ANY REASONABLE SUSPICION OF COMPROMISED ACCOUNTS]
(https://www.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=/r/Pmsforsale)\*\*Additionally here are some steps you can take.- [Set your account up with two-factor authentication]
(https://www.reddit.com/r/announcements/comments/7spq3s/protect\_your\_account\_with\_twofactor\_authentication/)- Remember that NO ONE from the mod team will ask you for your password or ask you to change yours. There is ABSOLUTELY NO CIRCUMSTANCE we would do so.- Remember you can utilize [our middleman system]
(https://www.reddit.com/r/Pmsforsale/wiki/middlemen) to help mitigate any risks.If you receive a message purporting to be from us saying you are banned, try to comment on a post on the board - any post. If you can post a comment, you're not banned. It's the easiest check you can do.Ignore scamming messages. We have ample examples.As soon as people stop falling for these and compromised accounts are identified, this wave of scams will likely subside.
