Warning to all:

Be wary of any unsolicited messages/conversations you may receive asking you to email someone who has a part for sale. This has become a common scam tactic here and on other forums.

This is commonly how such emails will look. If you should receive such a message, please report it immediately (using the "REPORT" link at the bottom of the message.

I would tell anyone that is buying anything from someone online that they should use an escrow service. Also got a response like this from a user saying the same in reply to my wanted soft top ad saying email so and so. When I emailed them about the soft top they said $500 shipped for a premium soft top and it was a dead give away it was a scam. Still yet I would have used an escrow service which in my experience has always sent scammers looking for an easier target.

I got one of these as well and reported it. Use common sense and look at the users post history.
