(1) Phishing emails - Look at this example that I have copied from my email:
Paxful-Warning - Problem Report Confirmed - SCAMMER
Inbox
no-reply@paxful.com alert@alert.com via slartibartfast.dreamhost.com

to me
You have been reported as a SCAMMER

In the email you are accused of being a scammer and a link is provided for further information. Following the link will direct you to a website where you are requested to enter your password. If you do this the scammer will immediately login to your account and steal your bitcoin. You should protect against this by changing your security settings - this is critical for securing your money. With 2FA turned on even if a hacker gains access to your account by hacking your email (common) they cannot take your money.
(2) Seller Beware
These are examples of messages received:

Replete with spelling errors, messages like that from a buyer with a feedback score of 3 should have been a warning.
