Here is the message i got from Roble 88 out of Allen Texas when i posted a wanted ad in the e body wanted section looking for a fender for 70 challenger. The pm Roble88 sent said "Contact Mckay Ford, He has a 70 Challenger passenger fender for sale in mint condition. Here's his email kelseygraym@outlook.com"
I emailed Mckay Ford and said i was told you have a fender, he replied and said he did and was in Spring Tx, i told him I know someone in the next town over from where he said he was and that they will come and pick up the fender after i get detailed pics with him in it, asked how much he wanted and how he wanted to be paid. I haven't heard back.
Had it happen on another site too, where I posted a wanted ad. Sent me a link to a vendor who just happened to have several. Got mad when i wanted pictures of a specific area of the fender with him in it, called me some names and blocked me, this was on FB, I've bought quite a bit of stuff over the internet but have to be really careful. The scammers are everywhere, especially the wanted ads
This is exactly the way that it went down for me. He showed me pictures from an Ebay auction in Detroit. When I reported a scammer to the Mods on FBBO, he was gone a couple of days later. Maybe he left on his own, but maybe not. How come there is no way to report a suspicious poster to the Mods here on Moparts?

He just hit me up on a PM a few days ago about an air cleaner I am looking for. Good to know!

Well I just got scammed too. I put an ad out for a wire harness for my 71 dodge dart and I sent him $. Now I have to figure out how to dispute this with PayPal. Did you send it as a gift? If so, you're boned.

I've bought and sold a lot here over the years and never been screwed. Just look at the user's registration date and post count. Nothing under a year, and has to have an active post history. I'm tapping the sign.

By any chance does he tell you his buddy has what you want and give you an e-mail? Location of Texas? Yes, just received one of these yesterday. The user Roble88 private messaged me to email Kelsey Gray. The guy Roble88 had one post and was out of Texas. Dam Texas Guys! He told me to email his friend kelseygraym@outlook.com

Can't the mods get rid of this guy? The board software most likely supports restricting access to forums based on post count. Not sure why management won't do it. Should be done to the unmoderated forum and classifieds to keep the trolls and scammers out respectively.

By any chance does he tell you his buddy has what you want and give you an e-mail? Location of Texas? Roble 88 just sent me a message answering an ad I posted for nos doors and fenders. message reads. contact Frances Buyers he has the nos doors and fenders in mint condition. has an email address. well, I emailed him, and I got an email back. let's say the prices were too good to be true. so remembering this post, I looked at the profile of Roble88 and sure enough .one post and just joined 3/27/23 from Allen TX.im guessing nobody has any dealing with this guy??? it's got to be a scam! mods may want to look at this one????
