I've been buying parts for all my cars for years Chevy Mopar and I've only been ripped one time and it was off of this site. Don't get me wrong, I've spent thousands on parts from the honest decent guys on this forum. About this time last year I posted that I needed a couple fenders for my 71 and a guy hit me up sent some pics of a couple of pics that appeared to be a couple of old but unused fenders and price was 1200.00. Fast forward in the end I screwed out of $800.00. So as many of you have seen me trolling for interior trim for that same car lately and I have paid for and received all kind of good stuff. Then the other day a guy hits me up on one of my WTB threads and tells me to call karen or whatever name he told me at 773-998-2587 that he has bought a couple parts and "they came in mint" so I give her a text of stuff I'm looking for and she starts giving prices and sending pictures etc. So we get to the point that its a little over a grand and she wants me to Zella her. So now I get a bit suspicious as some of the words in her texts just don't look or feel right and I get this feeling of I'm about to get F##$5ed. So I slow the deal down ask for some specific pics and want to split it up to $400 for some trim pieces and and after I get that we can move on with the bigger ticket items etc. Then I get the "after we make a deal I'll go to my husbands shop and send some pictures" and "Ill just send you everything and you can pay the balance when you get it but I need $800". Now my Bulls*** meter is on high alert defcom 4 etc. So I google the phone number after looking for the member that referred her that thread has been deleted and since being ripped off last year, I pay attention to things like how long someone has been a member etc. The guy was a recent member a month or so and again cant find that conversation or figure out how it got deleted etc. so back to my google search of the phone # 773-998-2587 and instant scam scam scam. One of the links took me to a conversation on a Grand National site where they were ripping people off there. so just a warning we are being trolled. You guys on this site are the best I wish we could line these guys up and do what needs to be done ton thieves! Here is the hook I found it on another forum pelican parts " WTB posts to contact Rebecca at 773-998-2587 and the parts will come in top condition" As you can see we don't talk like that "top Condition etc."
