Yep. Here’s my method of separating the wheat from the chaff:
In my experience in another field, I regularly keep tabs on a certain market on Craigslist. It takes mere seconds to determine if an ad in my category is real or fake, by skimming the printed descriptions, comparing composition and writing skills, photos presented, methods of contacting the seller, similarities to other known scam ads, and legitimate ads hijacked and modified with added text. “They” post dozens every week, and don’t care if they get flagged and deleted, they simply re-post again and again.
