• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

How does this make you feel?

Came across this in my endless search for tooling. And it just makes me feel funny, something about it. It's like nails on chalk board feeling.

100% scam.
His seller profile has one like that already sold.

I've never seen a shank that wasn't shiny from native grinding, but its entirely uniform matte. Digital pics can play games with metal in certain lighting but it does look odd. Dipped in 100% wholesome citrus degreaser for a few days maybe?

Why does he have multiples of exactly the same thing with one already sold?
 
All of the listing photos are identical. Maybe the same item listed in many different categories? Marketplace is inundated with bogus listing, spam, and sponsored listings that are actually links to scam or porn sites.
 
If one is sold then all listings would be marked sold. That's the tell for me.

Not sure could be something fishy going on I'm not sure how Facebook posting system works besides click and submit I still haven't figured out how to reliably search it for what I want either as I can use the exact part number for somthing and not have anything pop up then day later see a posting for exact thing I'm looking for with part number in description or title that's been listed for weeks.
