Just got a similar suspicious PM:

Email Ben in Montana He has a Shift plate mount bow # 25111207113 for sale Here's his email Benjaminwalter234@gmail.com

User "Bidenwood" "joined yesterday."

[g.ruff561]

This should be a sticky. I have had several “For Sale” ads refer me to a third party for a part I WTB.

Seems they are still here, got a PM yesterday for an add I just placed:

R3HOLT Yesterday, 05:40 PM
Contact Rollvix3, he has it for sale some weeks back don't know if it is still available.
Here's his email cinquemanivince@gmail.com

Did a search on Cinquemanvince and comes up on other sites trying to scam people. Can this site block R3Holt?

Got another potential scammer here, take a look for yourselves. PM'd me to both my WTB ad'’s and gives you the typical message. Goes by the name of Thomasx.

He send me the same email also

Basically, if anyone does not use something resembling proper language or formatting just ignore it.

Gentlemen,
all of those posts got from nick Deon19 and Mr. sanders or whatsoever are scam.
I stand corrected IF someone knows Mr. bernard sanders (LOL) is living in this address:

(shorcut from my email got from earlier mentioned email-address)
Hello Matti

Thanks Bernard

He tried to scam me too - Deon19 with email address sbernard626@gmail.com

Looks like Deon19 made his first post in the forum for some reason, responding to a 4 year old thread:

https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/forum/e30-classified-forums/for-sale-wanted/wheels-tires-for-sale-wanted/332008-new-hre-hayashi-racing-tecno-r-504

Maybe he's starting to create a Post History so he can scam more members ?

At one point I had a few wanted ads posted here and I would get scammers message me every few days. Generally they always have a post count of 1 (or less than 10), want you to "take it offline", and may be "selling for a friend". If it seems shady, I'll offer to pay the paypal fees for a "goods and services" transaction so I'm protected.

UGGHHH!!!! I think I just got scammed by deon19/sbernard626@gmail. I Venmod him $70 (under yet another name–Vanessa Vespo). He said he would send me the cup tray from his Husco armrest. Initially he wanted $300 for the whole armrest.

Can anything be done to stop this guy?
