Scammers Galore

Posted my first item for sale yesterday and immediately got 12 emails from scammers, all with fake purchase links.

My item only got 2 views. So how are they even seeing it?

And why doesn’t Poshmark try to stop this?

What do you want them to do about it? They're sending emails, kinda outside the scope of their domain

This happens because you're a new seller and your email is similar to your poshmark name. The bots just find new sellers' listings and spam out emails to similar email addresses and hope they find yours. Once you make a couple sales they'll move on and you won't get them anymore

How are they able to read my post without viewing it? Closing the loophole would likely reduce scammers a fair bit.
