You have no way for members to report scam artists only complaints after a transaction takes place. I just received an email from a [email protected] and here is the text of his message.

In this scam they send you a fake check for an excess amount and you are supposed to return the excess after cashing it, which makes you the responsible party for refunding the banking institution were you cashed the check and the buyer is now welthier.

I suggest you open a direct contact email to report these thiefs.
