Oh bugger I emailed him to have some fun and they suspended his account. I wonder why....
Fair go ... "mods asleep". 
These people have been pests for months now, and we've been doing our best to cull them as fast as possible. They've actually listed 20+ times, and we usually get them within a day or so .. but .. they keep coming back, as you highlighted.
Please - rather than attempt to shame us, please help us by directly reporting to us va support, so we can take them down faster...
Your help in that manner is really appreciated...

Sorry, didn't realise they were such hard workers. Do their IPs trace to Nigeria by any chance? (Although, in these days of cheap VPN, IPs mean little).
Laurie, I know you earn money with the ads but perhaps introduce some sort of minimum number of posts before someone can post for sale items. Or perhaps if they never posted in the forums the for sale items need to be manually approved.

no worries ..as you suggest,some tech makes it challenging. Plus, with pre-validated stolen credit cards, it makes it even more challenging.
They are such time wasters. 
We already have some nifty systems that catch the email spammers - you'll note there is practically zero Private Message spam these days. Our systems actually occupy them for a while ... it's great to check the logs, and see that a spammer has spent 4-6 hours (seriously) manually spamming everybody, and yet not a single one got through!
These other guys are a bit more trouble though, and we're building things to catch them.

Indeed, and like any additional safeguards, it has a cost - delayed advert approval.
I feel this would have a major impact on the majority to cater for a very small minority...
Apart from these scammers (who we shall shortly deal with), the Buy & Sell is spam/scam free...
This is the least scammy online classifieds. I think the mods do very very well.
I have some stuff so sale BTW and its alll realllyyy good and really cheap.
I think they do an outstanding service bought stuff of there for years. Cant get rid of the scammers there everywhere. Prob the drop kick cryptos again. always get a minor few. Get it on gumtree Tryn to sell misses car really bad. unless your sitting at the computer 24/7 be difficult to control.
