Beware of Scammers in the WTB section. Just a warning. Please read

Indeed. Zero post user Depp on this forum offered to ship me a TCD turbo manifold for $300. Emailed me a six year old photo from bimmerforums. I asked him for a new photo with today's date written on a paper alongside the part. Crickets...

Folks, if the deal seems too good to be true... Google image search is your friend.

Emailed him and would only accept Paypal Friends and Family. I told him I would cover the fee to send with Paypal Buyer Protection and he would not do the deal.

Did the verbiage not seem strange to you?

People, when someone is writing in an odd way, is a new or low post count user and then refers you to "someone" who happens to have just what you need it's clearly a scam.

If in doubt, ask for a picture of the part with some type of identifying material in the very same photo. If they can't provide it just move on.

Totally! I figured these guys Gen Richard and Peter Williams must be scammers.

You can always try to scam bait them for fun since there are loads of us and only a couple of them (presumably).
