Ok, SO, for those of you that read my
previous thread, im starting another one because this time I DID get scammed on another part. (as I just figured out, after comparing to my recent experience)
Again, another WTB thread I had for poly control arm bushings, guy PM's me and says something similar: "I know of a guy that has this for sale you can email him here :
rgreencore76@gmail.com"
SO I email the "guy" agree on a price (only $60) Says paypal him, but "gift". (come on' we've all done it)
(the one thing i didnt catch was where he said "I have the part", where as in this case its obviously multiple parts.)
after not getting it, I just emailed him to confirm, he says, he was busy, but its on it way, week later, nothing.
SO, after the last guy that tried to scam me, I realize, hey the guy before did a similar thing, send me to email "a guy he knows"....
then I look at the user name, same thing, recent join, and 0 posts or any profile info.
DAMN!!!
Only thing difference was that this guy, didn't say anything too "off sounding"
this user ID is
allycurtis773
SO, to recap, the new MO is: they PM you and send you to email someone they know that has the part. That person, says they have the part, asks you to venmo or payplay "gift" them. and you never hear back from them.
Spread this around, I'm pretty sure they are doing it every where they can.
Tip offs:
The guy who PM's you will say something like "I bought from him and the parts were perfect" or "I had a great experience" And/or give their location (mine said: "he's in texas") To give you a sense of reassurance.
The User, will have joined with in a few days, have 0 posts and any profile info.
And the guy you email, might say vague stuff, like "I have the part" and "I'm the original owner" "new in packaging".
Will rapidly lower the price, (hey it's all free money to thisF()cker!)
and lastly the pictures will be stolen from other ads (so do a google image search on the pics they send you)
