*** READ THIS! BEWARE OF SCAMMERS - They will contact you through private message or email

Unless I know the seller from this board and they have a long history, I will never send "friends and family." Scammed recently out of $50.00. Sent F&F but used my Wells Fargo Credit card. Paypal would do nothing, not their fault. Reported it to Wells Fargo. They immediately, about three weeks ago, credited me the $50.00 on my card and said they were going after the thief, not their exact words. A week ago they emailed they had resolved the issue and the $50.00 was mine.

I hope they eviscerated the bastard financially.
 
Just this week had this exact scam for an e9 part. Received an email offering something I was looking for. A quick reverse image search confirmed the obvious.. pics were stolen from an old internet post.

Politely told the scumbag to fuck themself.

I sadly come across scammers all the fucking time.. and they have really specific niche parts sometimes and seem like they actually have knowledge about these cars and parts. But it’s all BS.

Be careful!

Reverse image search is really helpful for finding scammers. 90% of the time you can find the original pic posted somewhere else. And the other 10% if it seems too good to be true.. it probably is.

THE SCAM:
You post a message looking for a part. A WTB ad. Someone contacts you through a private message or an email and says "name or email" has the part and you should contact them. When you contact them they will usually show you photos of what you're looking for that they found online somewhere. You pay them and they're gone.

Unless the person contacting you is a known user on this forum with a reasonable history SUSPECT EVERYONE and send me a message immediately.

Lately I've been turning away several scam account each week. I try my best to keep this place safe but there will be times that they get through so everyone needs to be aware and vigilant.

If you don't know the person you're sending money to DO NOT SENT "FRIENDS OR FAMILY" on Paypal or Venmo. It's not guaranteed and you have no recourse.

Thanks for reading!
