Every time I post a “WTB” thread I always get several scam replies. They always want you to email some obscure email address. Vultures

One thing to check is post count. If it's a small handful I will avoid them. That said you can always check the content of the few posts they may have.

Thanks for the heads up. This guy tried selling me a headlight. I actually got him to use PayPal. He said it was his wife's. When I used the purchases and services, he got pissed and refunded me my PayPal account under the name Linda Hempeck. He sent me email under the name Kelvin Johnson jr.

Oh well. I guess I should have done some research before sending payment. Glad it was only $40.

I actually have a set sitting in my garage, I went with the air vents instead when I bought my bumper. You pay shipping and you can have them. Just let me know if still looking.

I'm worried. I just purchased some 4 pot brembos from a member who joined jjst this month and only has 3 posts.....pay paled him the money today. BUT he did send a tracking number which makes me feel better. I forgot to check to see if he had plenty of posts. He didn't seem sketchy at all though so I feel ok about it..

As long as you paid with paypal and the fee NOT friends and family you should be good. Just double check to make sure the parts are not counterfeit and in good condition.
