New Member PM’s

Keep getting PM’s from new members.
Pretty much the same message....

“Hello, do you still have this car available for sale? I'm a really interested buyer?”

Can we make the registration process a bit more difficult?

Thanks for bringing this up - we've discussed adding steps or limiting access until a certain post count is reached. We'll update you when if these changes are made. In the meantime, we would suggest replying to your Classified ads with 'SOLD' if the part/car is no longer available - this should prevent the inquiries.

Don't do that. Just give them your SS# and home address.

Don't forget to include the street you grew up on, your childhood pet's name, and the name of your first boy/girlfriend.

All your passwords to your online bank accounts would help as well. Those are needed to speed up the registration process.

Flippers and scammers.

The flippers of all vehicles have come out of the woodwork lately - I get at least two notes a month on a VW van I park on my side driveway. I if a leave a P car out - notes on a weekly bases asking if it's for sale.
