Just a thought, but forum management "might" want to consider a policy like I've seen on another forum I frequent, where new members are blocked from participating in the buy/sell/trade listings (can't post or reply to an ad, nor can they send PMs) for a period of 14 days and a minimum of 20 posts in the discussion areas. The idea being that the forum is meant for participation in the discussion of various gun related topics, not just BST. That said, I have nothing against new members, but such a policy might cut down on the scammers....just a thought...
