WTH! What’s this Reverb scam about?!?
Just listed a couple guitars on Reverb. In two cases I got immediate inquiries that said “I’m making an inquiry for my Dad and i have sent him the pictures, his interest in buying it Can you reach out to him on his Email:<e-mail addrress@gmail>” so both of you can discuss the purchase,Thank you.”
Two different senders, neither of which has any transaction record on Reverb. I’m smart enough to to not click on anything but what the heck?!? Isn’t anything sacred anymore??

At least you're smart enough to recognize a scam when you see one. Some people aren't.

I've gotten the same inquiries so I guess somebody on Reverb falls for it...

Absolutely correct (post above this one). Any unwanted/unsolicited email you get with an 'unsubscribe' link is simply some oxygen bandit building a gigantic list of active/responsive email addresses to sell to some other scammer.
What's sad to me is carefully relegating these emails to my junk mail folder, hoping that future garbage from the same source will go there automatically. And it does, for a while. But after it works a few times, the same names start popping up again (with the source email address tweaked by a character or two - thereby sidestepping the filter I set up. Inviting us to "log-in" (so they can have your username and password). Lying, scumbag repeat offenders represent themselves as: Norton Renewal by Anderson Schwann's Delivery Sam's Club Ken Froescher U.S.A. Wild Seafood CarshieldUSA Splash Wine Christian-Match Home Depot Survey (extra sneaky this one, because so many of us actually shopped at HD just last week) Bank of America etc. etc. They are not.
