If you offer to pay the fee and they refuse, its a scam. I never buy anything, friends and family. Ever. Worth the 2.5% fee.

The scams seem to PM you and say “so and so” has the part you’re looking for, never naming the part and you should email the “so and so”.
I think you just saved yourself some headaches.

I am looking for a 87 gn grill and I got this PM from thermo13teen and a text from a Gmail account weekron0@gmail asking me for my full information in order to get me a quote to ship.
I know a guy that might have one in the forum,he goes by @SRGN but I haven't seen him on here for couple of days.I actually called him, no response. You can reach him via email- bww5325@gmail.com
Beware. I am not sure how they got my cell phone information.

If it feels like a scam, it probably is one.
Move on.
Move on.
Exactly
I knew it was a scam that’s the email teen told me to contact bww5325@gmail.com i hope he doesn’t scam anyone.
Im glad I did I probably wouldn’t be able to sleep for a week
But I don’t want people to get scammed I have been scammed alot in my life and I’m tired of it I jus don’t want any others who worked hard for a doller get scammed. Hope this reaches out to everyone so they can be stopped or aware.

Maybe they search everyone's past posts and chats, amd if they see an email or cell# they'll try to contact that way. If they post on a open chat another member may realize it's a scam before the person thye are trying to scam. If they PM no one will see it except the member.
I had a PM sent to me a few years ago when I was looking for TA33-C, same thing...private message with an email to contact a buddy via email. I knew it was too good to be true. When I asked for pictures of the turbo they basically took them from other sites that were selling the turbos. I had been doing my own research so I knew that the pics were copied.
Be safe guys........way to many scammers.
