Quoted from Reality_Studio:One thing I'll add is that a pattern I'm noticing lately is the scammers will say they are with the military in some way shape or form. Like they will say they are stationed somewhere on duty, with the reserves, ex military, etc, they try and make some association with military service. Almost every scammer that has contacted me has played this angle lately. Not sure why this is suddenly a thing, but it's yet another red flag to add to the mix.
Simply the excuse of why they can't be local... yet still interested in your machine.
The filter is really easy... always say "the game is available for you to come and inspect" - that usually flushes out the "oh I can't be there myself" lines..
