Best bet is to check thier feedback, hexus, or if not hexus something like ebay, and get them to send you an email from their ebay account to prove its them.

Dont trade with that imposter
While checking feedback is a good idea there are legit users without it such as newer members or those who sell less.
When buying anything over a tenner on a forum and anything over 10p on ebay

always insist on a photo of the actually item because 99% of the time a scammer cant provide this.
