Scammers on Reverb

[mnemonic]

It's almost every day lately. Same old ads keep popping up red flags everywhere. Reverb realises after a few reports on ads and then takes them down and then they reappear a few days later under a new name.
It just swamps the feed with so many fake listings. It had been between 20-80 listings, but today a scammer straight up listed 1000 listings straight after joining.

Ha, I just realised you're looking at the same dude I'm talking about.

He's down to about 800 listings now, hopefully the others were all canned and he/she hasn't scammed anyone yet.

682 listings now. Over 1000 earlier when I looked, like you said.

I imagine AI could play some kind of role in eliminating the scammers from copying old ads. I almost certainly expect copying ads in the future will be nearly impossible.
