Unsolicited PMS offering parts......
Just a heads up.
A member has Kindly informed me of a PM received offering similar parts to those that have been advertised on the forum
Would seem a scam and I'm investigating but please beware
If you get offered parts via PM from anyone who hasn't posted on the forum let me know - one or two may have slipped through the net

Re: Unsolicited PMS offering parts......
Another case today
A new account slipped through the net and was offering a member parts they had posted a wanted ad for
The account has been deactivated but please keep your eyes open ask questions and if it does;t seem legit it probably isn't
Report it to me and I can ban them

Usually the accounts offering these are a few days old. Click on the users profile, look at when they joined and search their previous posts
2 have slipped through so far and I can see a few more have tried to register so please be vigilante

How annoying...
Might be worth putting your warning post in the "wanted parts / misc" forum, as a sticky? Just a thought.
Hope all is well with you.
Cheers, Richard.

They’re still at it
If you get offered any parts from ‘new’ users especially those with zero posts please inform me
Recent usernames to be aware of
Samwick
SamHendrick
Raise the alarm and let me know but don’t part with cash - usually if you ask for actual details or images they won’t be able to help - they just respond to wanted adverts
Be careful as some slip through the net

Re: Unsolicited PMS offering parts......
So scammers can't PM now until they have made a number of posts - so their latest effort is to reply to wanted adverts saying they have the part or their friend has it and to email them - DON'T
Report them to me so I can be abusive and receive some of my pent up aggression on the little scroats
