Scammers everywhere, buyers and sellers. I do quite a bit of buying and selling on there, and also sell stuff on behalf of people who don't/can't use FB like my 90 year old neighbour, so come across quite a few of them and have to filter them out before I pass them on.

Signs to look out for:
* Strange names, broken english when chatting, profile only has 1 or 2 photos, say they joined 10 years ago but have 15 people on their friend list, etc etc.
* As a buyer, they don't even ask about the product, they message you straight away and say they will pay and have someone else come pick it up.

Sellers are a bit harder to pick, quite a lot of them have genuine accounts. Many people have been asked to pay first, then the seller goes silent. If you are buying anything over $50, best to meet in person and pick it up.

As for reporting the scammer, best thing is to warn others, especially in speciality groups where members might buy from said person. FB admin are freaken hopeless with accounts, and its too trivial for cops to spend their time on.
