Default Suspected Scammer on the forum. David00021

All a recent scam trend has been popping up on forums where a new member PMs you on parts you are looking to buy, and gives you a email address to a guy selling the parts. Usually the helpful guy has just joined has zero post count etc. The user in the title claims to be in the US that appears false based on the ip address.

Pm me if you get one of the these messages or if you suspect the person and I will do what I can do to assist.

As always use PayPal and send money as a payment to merchant not friend/family. Protect yourself and if the deal is to good.....

They are using the email address. petergathige.two@gmail.com. I searched it and found it connected to suspected scams on a few other forums
