Someone hacked my account on another forum and ripped someone off.

And just to add, scammers have upped their game tremendously over the past 6 months due to AI. Gone are the days when you can rely on broken English or unsure responses to your questions. They now sound professional as hell and as or more knowledgeable than us. And unfortunately, AI can doctor photos too. I used to discount that AI could really fool us - but it's already here, and in the hands of people with no morals.

And be thankful RT requires two-factor for selling. Sure, it can be a hassle, but it's necessary. Nothing scarier than all the capabilities these scammers now have, and then on top of that looking like it's coming from a seller profile you know well - that they've hacked.

Same happened to me at the TGP. Interestingly. I had the same credentials with only one other forum, myLespaulforum

This is the reason I refuse to sign up at LP forum.

Shit's security is a mess, constantly.

This is what scared the absolute hell out of me. The PM's between the scammer and the potential buyers were as legit looking as it gets.
