    My account was just hacked. I have a PM that I was trying to sell a scope and wanted payment through zelle. Luckily it didn’t work.
    I saw "your" ad for the Vortex yesterday but it's gone now. Was that you or the hacker? He had even put pictures of your userid in some of the pics with yesterday's date. One guy warned about the hacker ads and "you" got upset. I'm putting "your" and "you" in quotes because I don't know now if it was your ad or not.

    How did that happen with this new two step process? So now do you think your email is hacked?
    MFA is no longer REQUIRED and turned off by default. Anyone who didnt set it up is not protected by it as far as I understand.

    People were whining that "its just a gun forum" and didnt understand the need for it so Tex turned it off. I left mine turned on. it nags me once a month. Big whoop.

    Simple is still smart... no in-person meet = no $$ from me.

    Sorry to hear that scammers are still trying this hard, but I doubt they would ever agree to in-person if they have any clue about INGO folks in general.

    True. But there is a good number of members who only participate in the classifieds.
