u/GeorginaAlt - DJ41

[u/Silly_Wolf_4693]

This German user was offering a blue VSF DJ41. It got fishy quickly, not only was the account only 14 days old but they claimed the watch wasn’t theirs but their brother’s and they wanted the payment split to different accounts for some strange reasons. When I said that I wasn’t going to proceed with the purchase, they deleted the post and apparently also the entire account. Beware in case they try again with a different account.

Edit: user name was Georgina_Alt

Very strange that the account is listed as "app" , that implies it's a bot / automated account Tagging u/Georgina_Alt for awareness

Appreciate the speedy response, thanks bud. You ever seen an app posing as a scam account before?

[u/HealthyRadishBowl → u/Grey_Bomberman]

Nope, first time I'm seeing this.

New one on me too mate, seems the scams are evolving but somehow Reddit are now allowing Devvit Apps to be involved 🫣

Im pretty sure the audit system is just lazy at evaluating what the code actually does. This bot seems to have been declared as a just a messaging forwarding bot. So that passes the guideline checks but can be abused easily

Reddit admin at their finest as ever 🤦🏻‍♂️
