Scammer: beware of Chris.W003502
I'm really new to FT86 Club, and have been looking at various parts to buy for my son's project car. I got a PM from the user above who said he had a set of brembos for sale and to ask for more info. I emailed back and forth with him, and then did a simple google search and it appears he's lurked other boards like the BMW ones, etc.
Probably time for the ban hammer on that ID. I'm too old and distrustful to not at least check anymore. Hope no one else gets hoodwinked. |

My cell number is from ny. His number was texas. When I offered to pick up, he was in California. He was offering to send me the engine for inspection if I just paid the $200 for shipping (lol). English wasn’t good- definitely made me think he was a foreign scammer. Name was Kingg

You can also message @ichitaka05 if they email or approach you in any other manner not directly forum related.
