We had a report of an attempted scam on the forum. A member seeking a specific part received an unsolicited PM from a new member who “helpfully” provided the contact information for someone who supposedly had that part for sale. A quick internet search of the email address and name revealed this is an active scam in the online car community where payment is made to said individual, but parts are never received.
Unfortunately we are not immune to scumbags on this forum, so please practice care when performing sales transactions or providing any personal information. If the person has little or no history here, use extra caution. Stick with verified, trackable payment options such as PayPal that provide some protection if goods are not delivered or as advertised. If in doubt, do a search. It's amazing how many of these people don't bother to cover their tracks.
Thanks,
John
