There is foulness afoot

What if my dog ate half of it, you wouldnโ€™t want to insult her now would you?

No, I agree. Also, I tried to stipulate that I wasnt pointing fingers. Iโ€™m genuinely sorry for her loss.

Like ya said, 99% of the time, it IS something shady. Unfortunately the dead relative inheritance is a common go to for scammers. :man_shrugging: I guess the PSA is to mind who youโ€™re dealing with. Anytime ya buy something on the web youโ€™re assuming a certain amount of risk, factor said risk in.

Just to throw my tuppence in the mix, but this is such a low threshold to pass. We are talking about criminal offences being committed, not just someone โ€˜getting ripped-offโ€™.

Iโ€™m sure we all work hard for what we have, so why is it so easy to join what should be a safe forum and scam people so quickly.

Iโ€™ve never used the BST, so forgive my lack of understanding, but surely the bar should be set higher? Member for four weeks before being able to buy and six months before being able to sell, plus the requirements to contribute and play an active part?

If a new member is genuinely interested in the hobby, theyโ€™ll stick around and I sure theyโ€™ll be a lot less people using stories of dead uncles thrice removed/dogs needing brain transplants/one off ultra-rare-original-platinum-coated-first-edition-titanium Peaks to commit criminal offences.

To sidebar for a second here. I read this for some reason as โ€œJust to throw my tupperware in the mixโ€ at first.

Then I started thinking of like a social gathering, everyone hanging out, and at the very end, someone pulls an empty tupperware container out of their bag and is like โ€œtime to get going, load 'er up.โ€

Really more like a โ€œthrow my hat in the ringโ€ or โ€œtwo centsโ€ kind of scenario, but I am totally going to start using this non-saying. Letโ€™s make it a thing.
