| I posted this a few hours ago here: https://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=217172&nID=1028587
but i thought it might be better to do so here.
Since i have some experience in infosec, i thought i vent an idea here.
I just signed up a few days ago, (great to be here so far!) and noticed the same,
i have had 2 haunted houses mails of under 150€, in the last 3 days.
Yesterday Susan, day before Anthony.
Anthony actually send me a very small, low res. pic, without ANY exif data...
If you think i am crazy to check these things, well wake up and welcome to the
interweb: The biggest darkest alley, filled with criminals, where you would normally
never come! (and yes my friend call me internet-paranoid).
Before i could answer it was sold. Never got that answer.
It is a sad thing scammers...
so my solution, kind off.
Maybe give new sign-ups a week or so a status of "aspiring member" for an x period
(week/2 weeks).
In this period a new member can only buy NOT sell. (maybe even have to buy before
you can sell? although that's a biggie)
It is no fool proof solution, but a big hurdle for scammers looking for a quick
buck.
This will stop most if not all quick scammers, i take it IP addresses are already
logged and banned? Maybe analyse those, is there a trend?
Although i think this will help a lot, even asking for copy of ID, what i do
NOT propose is no really watertight solution.
(who is going to check all those, and securely safe the data of those offsite?,
complience etc)
my 2 cents...

| Just an idea
is it possible to create a shopping list?
what I mean is that you select the parts / sets you want and then bricklink searches
all stores to see if anyone has everything you need in one store. The results
can then be filtered by cost or other headings such as country for easy reference.
I think this would be really useful.
