Had a guy message me from my post about looking for a downpipe, told me to contact his buddy [email protected] for one. The guy that messaged me had 0 posts, just made his account 5 days ago, and his activity showed him browsing the classifieds. Sadly I didn’t get his username, he deleted the convo almost immediately.

I emailed his “buddy” and his buddy sent me pics of a PRL downpipe and front pipe...taken from the pics someone uploaded here in 2017 asking questions about install. Ole Mike Molz just put a filter on his pics to throw off the colors of the original owners rug they were laying on. I messaged the original owner asking if he still had them and he said yes they’re still on his car lol. So if you see that email know it’s a scam!!

there are some shady types roaming these forums. I actually came across an Instagram page a while back that had three pictures of my car that were uploaded to this site and no where else.

I feel like a very easy solution to all of this would be that moderators enforce a picture with a hand written sign of the users username.

New users with few posts are always a warning sign.

I sell on reddit a decent amount and a timestamp with your username is required on everything for the forums I'm part of. I think it should be here as well!

I received two different messages like this after I had put up a wanted ad. They asked to email someone. The first one I emailed the person but when they replied back it sounded fishy. So I replied with " what part do you have?". Which in turn then said "the part". I then asked for a picture and they sent a really bad photo of the wrong part. I said, "that's the wrong part". They then sent a picture of the correct part but again it was a bad picture. See the picture below. I then never responded back. I checked the message I originally had on these forums and the sender never had a single post.
A week later I received another message from a different person asking me to email someone. Again this person never had a single post.
