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.....

REPORT ANYONE THAT CONTACTS YOU WITH NO FORUM HISTORY WITH A HOT TIP OF A GUY THEY USED BEFORE TO GET PARTS THAT YOU HAVE NOT HEARD FROM BEFORE ON THE FORUM.

I WILL BE GLAD TO DIG INTO IT AND SEE WHAT I CAN FIND

 

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.

 

DAMN! Glad I saw this before sending the $$.

He even sent me pictures of the item. After doing a Google image search, also found the same pictures on Defender Source from 2011.

Pissed that I'm not getting the part I needed to complete my TReK

 

They have been doing this on at least 3 forums that o know of. So do your due diligence.

Glad I was able to help

 

And they're back! Looks like admin already banned them. Latest "handle" was Mercy01

 

Yup I clipped that one the other day

This one responded to a an add I placed in the wanted section with a private message that said...

"Email Rob in Texas He has a 2003 DII Oxygen sensor harness for sale Here's his email Frederickrob334@gmail.com"

The "seller" insisted on Paypal friends and family.

I didn't send him any money.

 

Already banned him
