Same thing. They will respond to your thread stating a "buddy" has the part you are looking for and to contact them via email then try to get you to send payment without pics of the product.

Same here, I posted a WTB and couple member sent me pm like "my buddy has this, or this guy has that etc" .. contact email and they'll response. I actually did contact 1 of them, it is so fake and so fishy that I was about to report to admin but haven't had a chance. But this is one of the scammer email [email protected] These are the member in here that sent me the pm.

I just check my pm inbox, loks like the conversation was delete (probably by admin?) .. but anyways, always inspect the picture they sent you.. because these scammer would go to different forums, google, ebay etc.. to pull those pic try to scam you.

I was also contacted by that SAME EXACT "person". Almost went through with purchase. Actually sent them money via PayPal after I declined to do it through some app they wanted me to. I sent it as a commercial purchase so I would have some buyer protection. They cried that I did not use Friends & Family. I told them NO! Then I reported as scam to FRF mods.

Another email they use is - [email protected]
