Thanks for the warning (both of you). I have just begun to shop/buy from forum site members listings on several sites (only used to do local or eBay, have over 1000 FB there) and have recently dealt with people that seemed a bit strange and either withheld information or just bailed/flaked on me. After reading your post it makes me think some sellers may be paranoid because of the scams, and in turn it makes people like myself paranoid. Chicken or the egg. Either way I'm realizing there ARE real scammers out there and although I would like to think of myself as a part of a car community and like to give folks the benefit of the doubt there are too many crooks out there. And to think I was close to sending thousands for parts and even considering buying a car last week from a forum member...

I'm sorry to hear of your loss.
