Bloo Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 This might be a good time to remind everyone that sellers who have the parts you want, and want to take the conversation off of the forum, or have you contact someone they know, are probably scammers. This goes double if they have the parts everybody else wants too. A forum user's post history can be very telling. There are exceptions of course, vendors who are old school and just want to deal on the phone or by email. Those exceptions have a fairly long history on the forum, and excellent reputations to match. That is all. P.S. Sorry about the clickbait but it needed to be said. I won't be the least bit offended if this gets removed. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimy Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Likely prompted by the guy who joined one hour ago and has posted 236 messages (as of 3 minutes ago) all with exactly the same content in response to WTB posts from (probably) the beginning of the forums. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw his signature down the side of the topics like the size sticker on jeans at Walmart. I laughed. It reminded me I still have today to jet 15% on all I can put in a bucket AND get the bucket free! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimy Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 He's now up to 403 messages in 2 hrs, and my 2nd report to mods. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 I reported that person also. I am happy to see that his very busy few hours turned out to be a waste of time as they seem to have all been eliminated. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60FlatTop Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 I think one has to have at least an MBA in business management to recognized the marketing potential of that exposure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Gariepy Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 My most common admin email (next to I lost my password) is: Is this buy/seller legit? Short answer. I have no clue. Nor will i do the footwork. That's your job. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
