The best bet to prevent scammers from using your for sale postings is to watermark your images in some way. I used Photoshop for the image below, but there is free software that will do something similar.

Could you share a name on that freeware for watermarking. I never touched photoshop and I found Gimp tedious .

Anything that causes a scam artist \ thief problems makes me smile.

Did you notify the moderators?
