Can spammers be hijacking old user names?
I marked a post as spam a little while ago that had the same subject and content as this one.
https://g05.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1983563 This new one however is from a user that has been around for years and has valid posts although he hasn't posted recently. Just wondering.....

Usher9387 is the latest valid member with the same spam post.
Let me know if I should stop notifying when I see this. Don't want to be a pain in your ass.

No pain whatsoever, to the contrary you are making this a better place. just make sure to report it as spam using the dots on the top right of the post, and magic will happen 👍

What does his profile show? Long time member with real posts? Any itrader (previous sales) shown?
Or is it a new member with no posts that wants to communicate via text because they don't have rights to private message?

Same way you'd investigate anything you are considering buying privately.
Are the pictures actual pics or screenprints? Reverse image search to see if the pics show up anywhere else Search the VIN and pull a carfax if you can Check the seller's profile to see if they post like a real person or are only here to sell (not automatic negative, but could be a red flag) Google search their username - people often use the same name on multiple sites Communicate with the seller - do they respond like a normal person, are they super eager to complete the sale, are they unwilling to send additional pictures? Probably plenty of other tips too |

I don't think so, more someone who did a new car order and is here getting pumped for their delivery date.

this is old problem that scammers steal some user passwords and try to use them to scam, listing some attractive parts by attractive price
