Hi,
My apologies in advance if this was already covered. I created a WTB thread for a part just a few days ago. Since then, I have received a few PMs/R3V emails about this part. Two in particular stood out to me because they were "R3V" members who had just joined that same day to let me know they had the part for sale. As i engaged in conversation with one of them, I start feeling more skeptical about this "member" because when we spoke about payment he said he did not have paypal active and instead he wanted to use Money Gram. I was hesitant at first and then I decided that i did not want to take the risk. I offered an alternate option which was having him send me the part first, and then I pay. I let him know that at least he can find comfort in seeing that I am a frequent, established, member of this community and he would have less to worry about than I would since I didnt know him at all. As expected, I never heard back from him. I still have his email so if anybody is being approached, i would just say be careful. I use paypal for reasons other than a means of payment, it also offers security and recourse in case you get scammed.
