Scenes from a Chat: Selling 1200 Gachas, Such a Deal edition

Scammers come in many different forms these days, apparently.
[21:50] kxxxxxxxx Rxxxxxxx: Hello !
Meet our scammer, Ms. K. She has one more line in this chat capture, and...that's it. Commented and poofed, apparently.
[21:50] kxxxxxxxx Rxxxxxxx: I sell 1200 gachas that I collected for 6 months, clothes, shoes, hair etc ...
for 5000 lindens
interested IM
And that was it.
[21:50] Emilly Orr: Well dang
[21:50] Lxxxxx Sxxxxxxxx: hi not [kxxxx]
We'd had an issue in this group for a few weeks now, a male avatar, who tried to get women to 'help' him buy a skin.
[21:51] Emilly Orr: Hey, it's barely possible it's legit!
Emphasis on "barely", there.
[21:51] Bxxx Mxxxxxx: lol
[21:51] Dxxxxxx Sxxxxxxx: ugh gaaah!
[21:51] Sxxxx Sxxxxxxxxx: thats expensive
[21:51] Emilly Orr: Depends on how many rares, really.
Yeah, it can. But also, why not a list of things? I've seen people do that when they're selling a bunch of gacha items.
[21:51] Lxxxxx Sxxxxxxxx: [kxxxx] is bougie as heck
[21:51] Emilly Orr: That might be REALLY reasonable.
[21:52] Sxxxx Sxxxxxxxxx: you cant tell when you buy a box of assorted stuff though
[21:52] Emilly Orr: Like, I regularly price rares at L$500, depending on said rare, so.
[21:52] Sxxxx Sxxxxxxxxx: it might be all rubbish
[21:52] Emilly Orr: It might be
[21:52] Axxxxx Txxx: yolo
[21:53] Emilly Orr: [Kxxxx], don't suppose you have a general list?
I am trying to decide if I'm interested enough to IM. Or maybe, bored enough.

Her profile reads "I can make your dream come true"...Doesn't look good.
[21:55] Emilly Orr: Do you at least have a list of them?
[21:55] Second Life: User not online - message will be stored and delivered later.
Figures.
[21:54] Dxxxxxxx Fxxxxx: it is like anything else..how much it is worth to the person buying it! If they want them, they will buy it..lol! Smiling, i know i have!
[21:55] Emilly Orr: Welp. Asked. She's offline.
[21:55] Emilly Orr: So I am going to say scam.
Yep.
[21:56] Dxxxxxxx Fxxxxx: did you check to see if she has any media platforms under her avie's name
[21:56] Emilly Orr: How would I do that?
[21:56] gxxxxxxxxxx Rxxxxxxx: It's a scam.
[21:57] gxxxxxxxxxx Rxxxxxxx: That has been making the rounds in other groups with different wording.
[21:57] sxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Rxxxxxxx: It's the same profile pic that many scam accounts have used in the past month.
[21:57] Emilly Orr: Ewwww.
That's even worse, then. That's being blatant about the fact you're just in world to rip people off.

So, definitely a scam. Right. Blocking.
