SCAM ALERT: Unsolicited messages/conversations asking you to email someone for parts!
A common scam has been reported here involving a situation where you may receive an unsolicited private message telling you to email someone for a part that you're interested in purchasing.
The scammer may then show you fake (but credible) photos of the product and have you send money for it. Of course, the part is never delivered and the paypal account closed down to avoid chargebacks. If you receive private messages resembling this, please report it immediately (using the Report function in the message)! |
