Jeff - I've posted about this a few times, but as a reminder:
- If someone is not a list member they cannot see your email address and would have difficulty contacting you directly. - If someone has contacted you directly offering an item you seek, best practice is to check if they are a list member. - In this case, there is no one with that user name (and only one user with an "@proton.me" account). - That means that someone has joined the group and quietly ID'ing folks who post WTT / WTB, then contacting them from another account. - I have no ability to ID a non-list member (and since that account is not a list member, I cannot ban them) Best practice = Check the name/email - you can search generally in Conversations. If they don't show up, assume it is a scam.
