Very common scam used primarily on letgo and craigslist .. Not used as much on nextdoor as they have some method of id verification. TOTV does little in that regard, so not really surprised.. The common"tell" is that the anxious buyer is "out of town" or "in the hospital" so will send a check (pls dont give them your address) and then send someone to pick up your item .. They also rarely try to negotiate the price .. In May, I had three "buyers" with the same line on an item (usually something $1,000 or more).. I then sent them a common email asking if they were all at the same convention ..
