scammers in the WTB section beware. i posted a WTB for an mtech1 wing.

he asks me to email him, so i do






he then sends me this e-mail with photos (e-mail seems fishy so i google image search the photos)







I find his photos that he sent me in a bimmerforums thread from 2008

Good catch! We need these bottom dwellers out of here.

Thank you. I'm going to feel like a dick if he ends up sending me a picture of the wing with a penny on it

But I'm 99.999% positive it was a scammer. Hopefully there isn't anybody else falling for it.

Nothing wrong with being safe. It's sad that it's hard to trust anyone.

Ya I figured he was trying this on a few people. Hopefully nobody sent him $.

Had one hit me up. When I saw he had 1 or no posts I never replied.

Did the same. I seen 1 post which was his post telling me to email him and I immediately ignored it.

Make sure you guys report them to mods. Just because you know it's a scam doesn't mean other people won't fall for it.

I've had a couple guys trying to sell me a Lachssilber bumper that fit the description.

Told me to email him and send moneygram, but it was through the guest message system, not PM.
Obviously, I chalk it off as a scam right away and didn't even message him back

Can't trust newbies.
