SCAMMER ALERT: IF YOU GET A BAN MESSAGE, DO NOT CLICK ANY LINKS AND DO NOT ENTER YOUR FUCKING REDDIT PASSWORD, ALSO THE SCAMMER WHO IMPERSONATES OTHER USERS IS BACK. READ THIS DAMN MESSAGE IDIOTS. THIS WILL REPEAT EVERY HOUR SINCE YOU ARE TOO DUMB TO STOP GIVING UP YOUR ACCOUNTS, YOU'RE WELCOME.
This message will now repeat every hour due to the obscene amount of users giving up their info and/or paying scammers.
For months scammers have been making clones of the UniversalScammerList.com website and trying to trick users into entering their Reddit passwords, and it's been working.
If you get a message that looks like this IGNORE IT AND DO NOT CLICK ANY LINKS EVER https://i.imgur.com/IvCjf5n.png
The link brings up a page like this, that shows "Appeal": https://i.imgur.com/znZvJRn.png
Then the Appeal Button brings up a fake Reddit that looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/skwbAWT.png
**PLEASE DON'T BE DUMB ENOUGH TO FALL FOR THIS, AND NEVER ENTER YOUR FUCKING REDDIT PASSWORD ON ANY WEBSITE THAT ISN'T FUCKING REDDIT.COM HOLY FUCK**
If you ever get a ban message stating you're banned from GAFS, reply to that message before clicking any links or doing anything at all. If you do not get a reply from what says "r/GunAccessoriesForSale" SPELLED CORRECTLY in green as the username it is not us. Alternatively, if you're unsure if you're talking to ACTUAL GAFS MODS go to our sidebar OF OUR SUB, click "message the mods" and it will connect you to us.
UPDATE: They are also using the impersonated users scam in combination to the scam above. They are making both subreddits AND fake usernames to impersonate people. Please make sure if you get a message from a user you click the name and MAKE SURE IT GOES TO THEIR PROFILE, WITH A GAFS HISTORY, ACCOUNT AGE, ETC. For example, I am u/MapleSurpy. They are making fake profiles that say like u/MapIeSurpy (that's a capital i, not an L, to trick you), or u/MapleSurpy1, or u/MapleSurpy_, you get the point. If a user has numbers in it like u/MapleSurpy00761 they'll message you from u/MapleSurpy00716 and shit like that. They are also making FAKE SUBREDDITS called r/MapleSurpy for example which come up as Green names. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS. The best way to protect yourself against this is by messaging the seller YOURSELF via their GAFS ad and not replying to any messages THEY send you first.
