TAKE MY ADVICE PLEASE !!! I was scammed the same way and lost $720 , same place in FT. Hood , Texas only his name is Lloyd Whitney let me guess you placed an ad in the parts wanted section and "B' or " Berger " answers saying his friend has the part and to email him .. then the person that answered your ad deletes his account BEWARE !! Moparts friends !! PLEASE !!!! Don't get scammed like I did! ...I am out $720 and still don't have the 4 inch small block stroker crank I need !

There seems to be a lot of "I don't have the part but I have a friend who does, get hold of him......." going on. I have read of this on other forums I belong to. Invariably they turn out to be a scam. Sad but true.

People should insist on a form of payment that is covered as many ways as possible. Like CC via PP. Im not afraid of new sellers doing it that way since some times they just need to dump parts. Got a great deal on a cam/lifter combo last quarter on here.

Just have to say : I have been on Moparts over 20 years and bought and sold a lot of parts with no hassle whatsoever ... I have always been satisfied with my purchases as were the persons I sold to.. the guy that scammed me still emails me I guess he goes on this site and he isn't happy about being called a thief , he says he will refund my money but only if I give him my bank account info saying he can only refund that way ... sure buddy heres my info... not. I emailed him back about a week ago asking why he can't send me a money order, certified check or western union wire transfer to me personally or send me the crank.. big surprise ! I haven't heard back

Scammers are everywhere on any forum I frequent.
A month or so back I responded to a Facebook Marketplace listing for a Honda RC51 that was priced very well. I was hesitant to even try being Facebook which I don't normally use. The seller's response was pretty 'tentative', to the point of making me wonder.
After some back and forth with the seller I concluded it was worth the drive to Iowa to see what happened. I got there, found he was a real person, really had the bike, really did want to sell it and even had a clean title for it.
When we had settled up on the sale he said "I almost didn't respond to your messages. Being from Minnesota I was concerned you were a scammer and was trying to figure out your angle." I laughed and said "I was wondering the same thing about you!"
Lead, follow or get the hell out of the way
