He probably wants the picture so he can use it for his scams.

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

Probably not going to pursue it

If you post a wanted ad, best be on guard.

Like waving money around walking down the worst crime infested street in your area.

If they don't take a method that provides some protection, objects even if you pay the 3%, too difficult to get paypal, etc... RUN

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

I got the same email. it was suspect form the very beginning.

I have had good luck selling and buying on the moparts forum. Just did an order for selling some 1970 Challenger parts, and have a deal buying parts from Little Detroit. Though they have a low post count, they have posted here for over 10 years so I was not concerned about it being a scammer or anything like that.

Lot of Scammers on RacingJunk. Most can't even speak English when you call.
