Default Scammer 504-383-6103

Google his number, he's been hitting other car sites. He must be a paid Yenko subscriber to have seen my ad. Sent me a text from my post looking for a Camaro part. Said he has the part, the first thing he asked me was where am I located. Everyone's state is listed on their posts! Got hostile when I replied with send me a pic of the part with him in it. lol

Everyone can see the ads, however they can't post in the classified forum unless they are paid member/contributing. Since they can't post they PM members.

If you receive a PM always check to see when the member joined and if it's that day a red flag/warning sign. If they have no posts that is another red flag. If they have an item you want ask them to pay $30 and become a paid member and post what they have in your wanted ad thread.

We all need to be diligent. Last if you think they are a scammer post in this forum and I will check their IP address and email and validate when possible.

Interestingly, I have successfully sold parts to several people who seem to have googled looking for a part and found my ads here and joined specifically to post or PM me to purchase said part...

No issues - but, I concede that it's different when they're the ones sending me the money...

Just a comment really...

Cheers all,
Anthony
