A scammer could post an item for sale in any number of locations trying to bait the scammed into a purchase.
I’d think that anyone motivated to commit a crime would simply just spoof their location and do that anyway. The decision to not allow everyone else the option to manually select a location just punishes everyone except the scammer, and makes the app considerably less useful.
But I think this has less to do with preventing scams and more to do with data collection. I’d bet money on it! 🤑

But, I agree. We should be able to manually set the location.
