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

Randy23 is looking like another one… Replying to all WTB threads saying he has the item.

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.

This guy tried scamming me. Sent me 2 money requests and 2 pictures that were of different items not matching.
Hope this helps everyone

Temp ban all legit users for a week. Scammers will have only scammers to scam.

Hey all- be careful with Breda (https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/member/123942-breda)

He reached out stating that he had Euroweaves he wanted to part with, for too cheap a price.

He sent me photos and they were suspicious- photos were blurry, like they were screenshotted. I recognized the backdrop from the photos (from Elrich Wheelworks), so I went digging and low and behold found the wheels I was being “sold”.

I asked if he had any photos of them on the car, to verify they were real, and he did not, and immediately started pushing a fast timeframe. I called him out and he immediately stopped responding.

Anyway, he seems a bit more dangerous than the “email my friend he has a set” type of guy, because he knew what I was looking for and the right type of photos to send, similar to the Mario scammer who successfully scammed a ton of folks on here recently, where they know what people are looking for and know the market and take advantage.

He has logged in every day since, too, so beware. Mods, ban if possible before someone gets burned out of a significant amount of coin.

Got this one. 100% scam.

I banned him/her/them yesterday.

Got it. FWIW... attached screen shot of message

[nando]

Is he posting or sending PMs?

if you see posts, you can report it and one of us (TWO!) active mods will delete it. If it's a PM, we can't see anything. I guess replying to this thread is the best way to deal with it.

This seems pretty suspicious . . . .

Classic scam attempt. Scammer just happens to know someone who has that exact part for sale, as if people keep an inventory list of all the car parts that their friends or associates have for sale.

They're also probably harvesting your now confirmed email address and selling it to spammers.
