• 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!

Obvious scam - everywhere - $1800.....

They are fishing with different bait now, just a PSA for every one....Found this one amusing. What's next? Free 10mm sockets? CCMT inserts?
 
Do a search for any new computer or phone, popular ones are Mac Mini M4 or iPhone 16. You’ll find dozens of identical ads, offering the items at pricing far below current actual pricing, and all the identical ads will be connected to sellers in third-world countries. Facebook does absolutely nothing to control posts on their platform, and if you report the ads nothing happens.

Ya, they've been doing it for tech gadgets and other stuff like that for years. As always, if it's too good to be true.....

This one I found amusing because they're using an old 80's Toyota pickup lol. Next it'll be an old lineshaft shaper or something.

Just think you could fit a lot of those overstocked $2000 new in box Honda generators that are selling for $130 on Facebook, in that nice little truck.
