Interesting first post, if you have a look in this forum you will see a number of similar posts though it's not just one person creating them.

PH is working on reducing the number of scam adverts in the sales section.

Oh and Welcome to PH smile

Welcome too from me...

We are working very hard to try and stop these scammers, and work daily to remove adverts reported or found through our filters. We are also working hard on some new systems to make it harder to use as a scammer and with more power to both genuine buyers and sellers which will be in place soon.
