If you received a PM from me recently, its a scam. Account hijacked.

I got a whole bunch of notifications that my account is being used to sell. I have messaged those who have messages in my outbox and inbox to inform them. I have now changed passwords.

He has also posted under gift cards but deleted it so it doesnt show up in history. as I am getting PMs about it.

Refering to this thread. I do not sell phones, even if I do, I always provide photos with my user name on it. This was a scam.

This is what's bad about RFD. No 2FA authentication. Site doesn't seem to take security seriously. Already asked @TomRFD regarding best practice industry standard security precautions nowadays that RFD will implement soon but got no reply yet.

I wouldn't blame 2FA, many other sites don't use 2FA and it's not like we have private info stored in our accounts. I think they should force password resets on accounts older than 2015, it seems like a trend that users from 2010 or older are getting hit with these hijackers.

Is no one questioning why all these accounts are being compromised? Pretty sure RFD has security flaws. I got screwed over a few days ago by a scammer. I have stopped buying anything on RFD.

RFD no longer has my trust.

No. Paypal is garbage. I deleted my paypal account. Won't ever use paypal again.
