So freaking tired of scammers

Team,
I have posted a WTB for Carerra Spoiler and Decklid. I can not take the scammers looking to screw people.

Why can't people just do the right thing? Such a shame.

they survive cause people are stupid when they are wanton. im in the jeep community having given up of porsches after 20+ years ago and it seems if some want a part enough folks tend to lose all good sense and send their money off to a sketchy internet entity...

they really only need a few fools a week to make it a decent side hustle.

Not sure of the last two...but I know Danny is a scammer.

Sorry to hear of this...it should not happen on a site like this.

Agree 100%.

...and what's worse is this kind of thing makes me skeptical on anyone contacting me selling or buying, which is totally unfair to honest people.

I am selling a few items here and been contacted by good people, but with experiences like yours from other forums (my other cars/brands and their WTB and sales forums) it just ruins the whole vibe and sadly I feel guarded.

Hopefully some venting here will help us all...it's been such a good system for me and many others for a very long time...

I sold a boat last year and got an email form a guy who said he was on a 4 month exploration trip in the North Atlantic and wanted to buy the boat as a surprise for his father etc etc...

How stupid do these guys think we are? Friggin' annoying!!

Scamming, stealing, trying to screw people has become a job.

Learn to filter and live with it. Not going away

I will only do business with members of long standing with history on the forum. Had many people try to scam me similar to above, "I am a very important business man and travel the world constantly. I will have one of my personal secretaries send you money immediately...." I wish we could send a "spike" through the Internet to blow them up.
