I go to the suspected scammer's fb page to see who has 'liked' their posts. If their names are mercan, and the likes' names I can't pronounce, then that is a red flag. One can drill deeper and go to the pages of the likes and see they are usually from the country of Scam.
The C4 and Marantz 2600 are listed in Cincinnati, the RTR is listed in Charleston WV, and he 'has' a Pioneer 1250 and Sansui G9000 listed in Jackson MS.
Sure, there is a John, Paul, and Jesse, but look at the other names.
