Beware of scammers

[John Angelini]

Got a DM today from a newer user with no posts suggesting I reach out to someone for the part I was looking for.

Things started getting weird when the Paypal request came from yet a third name with a mismatched email (who he said was his 'wife' named John) .

Bad actors and sketchy stuff out there.

Very classic online seller scam. Good catch.

I’ve seen those on car forums, often. What some people will do to steal $25. Jeez.

John, thanks for bringing this to my attention, I’ve deleted that account. Please be vigilant everyone, especially when dealing with people you don’t know in private messages.

So John, what part are you looking for?
