Moderator: please move if I placed this in the wrong spot....

Members-beware of a Gladiator Forum member named 'Kingo99'. He sent me a private message (see photo) in response to a WTB post I made regarding Sting Gray Rubicon fender flares. I followed up with an email to the address sent to me in the message '[Scammer Email]' and got a text almost immediately. Strange use of English was the first tip something was amiss and a phone call went to a strange Google voice mail. I received a text asking for my address so he can 'kindly' ship 'right way'. A quick google search for this email address yielded a similar experience on the Porsche forums so I decided to share it here.

Man do I wish I could get this guy alone in a room for a while. What a dirt bag.

Anyhow, beware ladies and gents.

When in doubt do a search for "forum spammer" and you'll find sites that track this. In fact, the site I run checks your IP and email addresses against such things before allowing people to join the forum.
Good catch, you saw the signs........

Odd that the guy is targeting fender flares. I guess targeting a super niche market like that might make it difficult to track?

I just got scammed too over a $40 part.
Frustrating.
