I noticed this guy "Matthew4885" has posted many items for sell on the marketplace but when I looked up if he had any posts in the Forum, which you need 5 to put items for sale in the marketplace, I see no post by this person. Is this a possible scam and if not why does this person have no posts. Can someone please check this out. I just want to make sure these items listed are not scams.

The most likely reasons are the posts were against the UA and deleted after he/she/it had reached the five-post limit and gained access to Marketplace, or were part of threads that were later deleted or cleaned up. Either way I would be very cautious.

Did all his ads for July 17 get pulled? I don't see any of them.

But he once again made 5 posts that were all removed and yet his 14 marketplace ads posted yesterday remain.

The Forum Moderators have no power, control, or any other ability to do anything in the Marketplace. And in this day of robo-scammers and instant IP changes and masking/spoofing it would be hard to do anything anyway. Todd (sysadmin) does what he can but it's not like TH is a full-time paying job for him (or anyone else, nobody gets a dime and most of us have contributed our own time and/or money over the years to help out).

This guy is back again as Matt4885. His old ads for the same stuff are still up from July, but if you click on them, they say "This ad can not be displayed.
The ad owner has been banned from the site."

The new ads are mostly for the same stuff. See the 5 posts in this forum to get to the 5 post limit.

While he's certainly not playing by the rules or contributing to the site in ways we'd prefer, I can vouch for him being a legitimate buyer. I sold him a mouthpiece today.

I also had communication with him the last time he was around -- he never did buy anything, but was most definitely knowledgeable about trumpets.
