It depends. Users in question might obtain a reasonably minor value plugin through promos, giveaways, hardware bundles, etc...
However, when someone without a long history star selling collection of high-end plugins repeatedly, it's a clear warning sign.

Potential scammer. I second UtopianLament's comment above. He is probably the same guy who has been banned multiple times under different usernames but still keeps creating new accounts. This account seems to be created some time ago, but he probably has created multiple accounts then. Best to avoid buying from him.

What happened?
There's quite a few red flags on his post and he's not answering questions but changing his post to fit a narrative. I messaged why they are selling, got no answer but the post now states they are selling everything to fund subscriptions. I also asked how they were going to transfer the Korg products, got no response but another friend messaged him about buying a few things without any questions and they were super quick to reply. Everything about that post screams scammer.

Most certainly a scam.

Please don't fall for it.

edit: to clarify, his response in PM made me certain this is a scam, I reported it to admin with an explanation on why it's a scam. I did want to give him the benefit of the doubt and to possibly purchase something off him but absolutely no chance in hell.

Recently, I noticed a newcomer in the fraud world Michael Hermina
He already had three KVR accounts, all of which were banned
memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=598318
memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=607584
memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=602379

The initial FB account he used to run sales was banned from "Audio Plug-In Buy/Sell Marketplace" group
https://www.facebook.com/michaelsaad.99
https://www.facebook.com/groups/2227923 ... 106533548/

Currently, he runs sales on FB using stolen/faked identity FB account under name "William Brown".
https://www.facebook.com/groups/2227923 ... 328975320/

The majority of his posts focus on top end developers on high demand for very attractive prices, such as Oaksounds, Native Instruments, U-He, etc...

be careful

Damn, this person also has account(s?) on VI-Control

https://vi-control.net/community/thread ... re.136361/

I can also confirm that Drumdiva belongs to the same user because I remember these two accounts selling the same exact items for the same exact price.

If I remember correctly, they sell on Knobcloud as well, but this I am not certain of.

He seems to be trying to run scam everywhere! It's worth commenting under his listing over there so members who where unlucky to buy from him will be warmed as well

The Michael Hernia scammer seems to have been banned on VI-Control.

I checked the link I posted yesterday, and the thread is no longer available. I assume this is because the scammer is banned, and the thread was deleted. AFAIK, users cannot delete their own posts on the buying/selling forum, so it must have been a moderator.

i feel ashamed i bought a licence from drumdiva, now my licence might be revoked... i have a big doubt about this : viewtopic.php?p=8662829 , i told me that he or she distributes plugin in Poland, i directly asked Oeksound, they told me they only sell via their website or sweetwater...so be careful

Post

also i found a pattern for this scammer he tooks 5 minutes to posts in 2 or 3 threads to say things like "i like this or like that" just to show that they are not only here to sell (or should i say scam)
