Beware of sampearson
I posted WTB: 8K Green Face Tach and he sent me a photo of a tach from the internet.
I asked him what the date code was for the tach and he said 6/68. His phone number is (775) 241-1064 I told him I was going to report him to Pelican Parts and everyone will know what a piece of s**t he is. |

You do realize he only has 6 posts and all of them were done just so it's more than 0. We'll never know who is behind these accounts but they will pop up again with another name. It's inevitable that I get a few PMs from guys like this for every WTB I post.
I'm not sure why Pelican allows PMs from new accounts. It would be easy to restrict that until a user has been on the site contributing for a period of time.

The known scammer post is a waste of time because they get a few posts in and then banned. So the name is not what tips you off to them being a scammer, it's the method which is as follows:
Anyone who posts a WTB ad should immediately be aware that they will be sent a PM from a new pelican user saying they have (the copy and pasted) item you are looking for, or a friend has it and here is their number and email. This is a scammer. Legit buyers have posts here. If they don't, they have posts on early S registry or rennlist and can establish presence in the community. If they can't, ignore.
