He’ll just change his name. That’s a typical scenario for scam

Did you report to the admin? That is the best way to do that. As Oldbluoval says, they will just change their name, but no need to make it easier for them.

Maybe Ryan makes some changes to the site. A new member can't respond to an advertisement till they have say, 10 posts. Just a suggestion to foil these idiots.

Ryan did make changes to how people can respond to ads, but if you put your email or phone number in the contact information than that might be how they are contacting you. Might want to remove it from there and only allow people to contact you thru the Fordbarn mail system first.
