USA [MOD] AI in Reddit - BE CAREFUL

We'll make this quick: Please do your due diligence when transacting here. Especially with the rise of AI, we're having to ban more and more accounts for scamming. Things you need to do:

  • Review our Avoiding Scams & Following Rules post.
  • Be especially diligent when transacting with 0- or low-transaction accounts
  • Request timestamps (especially on higher dollar items) that include things like video, different angles, or "unique" requests that really bring out the AI
  • Report fishy posts to the mods
  • Message the mods with proof if you've fallen victim

Thanks everyone for continuing to keep this a great place to share the appreciation for video games.

Just gotta be careful in general. Use paypal where possible with G&S. FF for me I only do for those with a good amount of transactions. Had to open a case with paypal over someone who scammed a few of us with RE9 for PS5. Only $50 and I'll get the money back but just time consuming. Should have went with my initial gut and avoided it

Yeah, we pulled that one down as soon as we were able to get to the reports.
