I see he has now been Banned, and branded as a Scammer.

This new user (trustedseller59) replied to 34 different WTB threads on Jan 23rd and suspiciously happens to have the exact item the person is looking for in every thread. What are the odds? ha ha

I sent this to Agent yesterday as a heads up. Basically he's copy / pasting the same message for all WTB threads and just pasting in the title of each thread into his post.

Username is a dead give away for a scammer too. Reminded me of the @notapoliceman twitter page, haha.

That thread is hit or miss it looks like. Half the people got screwed and the other half got exceptional service...Not defending or recommending the guy. I'm just saying he's not in his grandmas basement writing emails to members as the prince of Nigeria, he's actually out there at the yards stripping and hoarding all e30 parts for resale. I and a few friends have small stuff from him before but were local so there wasn't much risk of douchebaggery

Nah, hit or miss isn't ignoring PM's from moderators attempting to reconcile a situation. Hit or miss is far from acceptable practice in business.

He'll never get a penny of my money. I'd advise other members take their money elsewhere.

He's stolen from members in the past. If you want to do business with him do so at your own risk.

This user tried scamming me the other day and his status says banned...?

This guy is local to me and is always at the yard hoarding every e30 part for resale. Pretty sure he's not a scammer

Join date is today, for this guy who pmed me about my WTB: cardinal door cards. Whenever I get a PM asking me to contact them via email, why? You just did via PM. That's a Red flag.

E30 Parts Guy

Hey guys,
This "member" e30partsguy is still active. Just got a message from him. BEWARE, he's a scammer!!

Firstly, thanks to all for the info here. I'm getting messaged by this E30 Parts Guy as well concerning a 3.73 LSD.

Interestingly enough, he provided me with a PayPal account; however, he isn't answering any question regarding how he's going to package the item and told me the diff weighed 100lbs. I found somewhere on the forums that the medium case weighs around 80lbs.

On a similar note, He says he's going to take the diff off of his 325is: this is the only car he has listed on his profile.

Any thoughts guys?

PS. is it a lost cause to be looking for the 3.73 diff? So far I've been contacted by another seedy, very new member who is also allegedly selling a diff that he already has listed as sold in the for sale forum, "slayersden".

Scammer

Here's another one that goes by Kay Jay and here's his email address kayj785@gmail.com

Tried to get his address to pick parts up in person and got no response. Asked for phone number and he said he had no phone

I feel like this is relevant. The spammers are out of control.

Guys

This "Ben Joshua 709" idiot tried to pass off stock photos of an naturally aspirated ITB setup as a turbo intake manifold. I called BS and he ghosted.

Buyers beware.

I bought them a few months ago for my car but some things have come up and I need to sell them asap. 38mm wastegate flange, I have an adapter for an mvs I can include

Intake manifold comes with custom fuel rail and throttle body.

I was contacted by both e30PartsGuy and Ben709 regarding a set of late model plastic bumpers. Not sure how to proceed.
