Seems like a scam.

Who should I message about a person on the forums that I'm pretty sure is trying to scam people. I had 2 WTB post in the subforums that were placed on 2 completely different days about 2 completely different parts for my frs. This one said person messaged me the exact same vague message twice telling me to contact his email and to pay with money orders.
If I were to have received only one of these messages I might not have been able to catch the scam but fortunately I did
Pretty sure he just messaged every single person in the WTB subforums the same message to see who bites the hook

@ichitaka05 is one of the leads of this assylum, and generally runs around with a large stick in the classifieds sections.
