    We are seeing an influx in hacked accounts and scammers posting outrageously awesome deals today. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is.

    Do NOT use unprotected methods of payment like PayPal Friends & Family, Zelle, Venmo, cash app, etc. There is nothing we can do to help when this happens. Be smart with online transactions.

    We are working to get this resolved. Now is probably a good time to update your passwords.

    As always, there is a report button available and you can use that to report suspicious posts or conversations.

    Noticing that the scam ads are actually copied from other for sale ads on TW. If it sounds too good to be true, google it and see if it comes up as another ad. ;)
