Washington SCAM Alert

[MartinIT]

Just FYI.
A member highland11 contacted me saying someone XYZ had used parts that I was looking for and I could contact him. And so I did. The guy said, he had this and that and some other stuff and gave me the price with shipping quote and asked for Zelle transfer. The hole thing turned out to be a scam. ZELLE blocked the transaction as they were aware of that fraudulent email address already. Watch for such thing and for these email addresses:

Okay, I've been around forums for a LONG time, so here's some helpful hints.

A new member posts up items for sale on the day they joined. Walk away.
A new member posts items for sale with a web address to click on. Walk away, don't click.
A new member sends a private message about available parts after you have posted up a want or need. Walk away.

These people are all Nigerian Princes that have just won the lottery and need a cash advance from you to retrieve their money and they will reward you by giving you 300% of your investment.

Send a copy of the DM to @JAY and he will handle it from there.

Yes always be wary. That is why we have this warning sticky'd and a mandatory read for all new users:

SCAM ALERT! Unsolicited messages/conversations asking you to email someone!

Pretty common scam going through just about any board with a for sale section.

I moderate the classifieds on a gun related board and it is always the same basic premise. Relatively knew member sending you to a third party email address to run the scam. IP's mainly come back to Nigeria, Pakistan, India and West Africa with a few in London England which are usually Nigerian immigrants just running the scam out of there.

I was on the wrangler forum and they have a rule setup on the website that doesn’t allow part post ups on the site until you have made at least 10 posts… just a FYI
