I was the one that alerted Steve and saw the 2 at the end of this scammers name. He responded to an add of mine. I thought I remembered a member by that name and checked the list, and found the member without the 2, who has been here a long time. The scammer registered today, but was cunning to use an existing name with a slight change.

I was also contacted by this person, He said he had a part that I have listed in the parts wanted section, seamed really fishy with only one post and recently joining. He supplied a direct email to contact him there which to me is a red flag. Great to see you guys on this type of stuff!!

When you place a wanted ad always be diligent validating the member contacting you.
*How long has he been a member *If they offer you an item I would request they become contributing/paid member. *If they provide an email or phone do a google search. I get a hit that they are scammers 90% of the time. This last scammer was difficult because he was shielded by a VPN. We all need to be diligent and not give them benefit of the doubt. Thanks to the members who alerted me and help prevent members from getting ripped off!
