Buyer beware! We have had a scammer hit ScubaBoard and he's been quite pernicious, assuming names of people we know. It's important that you become very leery of doing business with anyone you don't personally know, even if it seems they have a long history here. I do suggest that you take the time to protect your account and change your password, which should be done periodically anyway. He has a preference for Zelle (which may change) and posts deals that are too good to be true. So, we will remind you of a few things to do in order to keep yourself from being scammed...

If at all possible, make the final deal in person If you must do it over the interwebs, use PayPal

Do NOT use the "Friends and Family" option

Avoid using payment options like Zelle that have no way of recovering your money

Check the pics being used via Google

Ask for a recent pic with a date

Abort and report the sale if the seller becomes aggressive or abusive

He will change his pattern as he continues to fail, so be smarter than him

If a price that seems to be too good to be true usually is

It's smarter to patronize businesses that advertise on SB anyway

Report any suspicious activity ASAP

We will not arbitrate any deals

We will ban anyone who seems to be a scammer

Consider changing your password often, not using the same username/ password combo on multiple sites and making it easier with a password manager app Lastpass, Dashlane, 1password and DataVault are examples
