Scam Alert
 

I was recently the subject of a parts for sale scam and wanted to alert others to what you can expect. I posted the need for a muffler and one respondant said " contact me at this email address". so I did (my first mistake).. he showed a photo of the muffler and quoted a price of $500 (What?) I said no and he said 200 and I said no and he said 100.. Weird.. then he said payment by Zelle and with that I knew something was wrong as that system seems to be the one most used by scammers.. So, I played the game out.. I asked for more photos and dimensions... the reply.. sorry it in a storage facility.. Said I would wait... then the conversation ended..

so, I am aware that there have been similar issues noted in the past. So, just be cautious.

Well done. It's so sad that many car parts guys are so unethical.

those are not car parts guys..............
If you placed an ad for posi-traction floor mats, they'd tell you they had them. So, not car guys. Just dishonest people.

I’ll bet that storage facility was in Mogadishu!
